Impoverished young medical student Edward Eden is visited by the wealthy, elderly philosopher Egbert Elvesham with an offer to make the boy his heir - on condition he changes his name to that of his older benefactor. Mr Elvesham wines and dines Edward, who waked up next morning to find he has undergone a sinister transformation - which he will need to reverse in order to regain his youth and sanity.
