Here’s a summary of FRANKENSTEIN UNLEASHED:

Years after the virus he created kills his wife and millions of others, Vik Frankenstein is a shell of his former self. Ridden with guilt as his body decays, he can only stay alive by harvesting organs and limbs from the dead with the help of his brother.

After a botched attempt to buy body parts from a local crime boss leaves him with days left to live, Vik must reach out to famed scientist Johan Kemp, his former partner, for help. Unfortunately, Kemp has his own plans.

Meanwhile, Police Detective Clerval is investigating the carnage left over from Vik’s ill-fated deal and finds evidence that leads her back to him. Clerval, who previously incriminated Vik for his wife’s mysterious death, is determined to bring him to justice.

As Clerval closes in, Vik is increasingly desperate to save himself, find a cure, and take down Kemp, who actually unleashed the virus in order to make billions from an antidote…
