Dr. Jacosta Joy, Arkham s last living psychiatrist, continues her descent into the Ten-Eyed Man s world of delusion. But are his claims of ghosts and ritual purely figments of his imagination, or is there a method to his madness? Meanwhile, Dr. Double X, a man with the ability to project his soul outside of his own body, has been taken prisoner by a very friendly couple who have discovered that his powers of astral projection can be used on others and they are addictive. But when Azrael appears in this den of sin, will anyone be safe from his cleansing fire?

Meanwhile, Dr. Phosphorus and Nocturna attempt to live a “normal” life in Gotham, but the good doctor’s radioactive body may be having unforeseen side effects on their unsuspecting neighbors.
