Something in the Dark is about a pair of mysterious goggles which allow a blind woman to see ghosts. But since they let her see real people as well, she is unable to distinguish between the living and the dead. She soon discovers a Grim Reaper-type character stalking her, along with a demented soul that looks just like herself. She deduces that her own death is imminent and must discover how this will come to be, and how to stop it.
