Abe Sapien, Roger the Homunculus, and Johann Kraus carry Liz Sherman's body into the center of the earth to find her stolen fire. Guided by the directions of a dead gnome, the BPRD is about to unearth a buried city, and learn what's in store for the world above.

The missing member of the B.P.R.D. is finally reunited with her body, but the team still has to find a way to dismantle the monstrous dwarves' digging machines, which tear at the center of the earth, and the giant battery which runs them, fueled on human fire power.

The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense traces the disappearance of a giant fungus to a deserted town. Separated from the group when their helicopter crashes, Roger the Homunculus, enthralled by a mysterious child, winds up hanging from the neck in an abandoned building. Meanwhile, the rest of the B.P.R.D. team lies unconscious at the crash site, and Abe Sapien dreams of underwater terrors.

While Roger hangs lifeless, the other members of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense recover from their helicopter crash only to see Johann torn to shreds by the town’s only inhabitants—a cult of frog men led by a shrouded freak, who erupts in a fleshy explosion. The roof comes down on a chained Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman, and only Kate Corrigan, the only normal human in the crew, remains free, hopelessly trying to raise help on the crashed copter’s radio. It’s the return of the frog men from Seed of Destruction, the most disastrous B.P.R.D. mission since Wake the Devil.

Liz Sherman is set upon by a cemetery full of fungus-driven zombies, and Abe Sapien uncovers the connection between this new generation of monsters and the B.P.R.D.’s old enemy Rasputin. But as the frogmen begin their rituals to raise the old gods, one of the disciples makes good on the threat Rasputin leveled against Abe years ago in Hellboy: Wake the Devil.

Mike Mignola and Guy Davis wrap up the first arc of the new Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense series with a bizarre and completely unique journey to the bottom of the sea, to find ancient temples and hidden origins. The plague of frogs has begun, and the world will never be the same!
