Story & Plot Overview

Following his escape from Arkham, the original Clayface (Basil Karlo) has made it to Los Angeles to reclaim his life from a charismatic impostor who has stolen his name, likeness, and fame to become a massive movie star. 

• The Infiltration: To lay low and plot his revenge, Basil uses his shape-shifting powers to pose as "Bob Parker," an elderly man living in a modest apartment complex. To track down his double, he infiltrates the Worldwide International Studios lot by sneaking through forgotten underground tunnels and disguising himself as a production assistant.
• The Hollywood Nightmare: As Basil gets closer to the fake "Basil Karlo" on set, he discovers that his doppelgänger has incredibly dark, horrific secrets.
• The L.A. Outbreak: Simultaneously, a bizarre new designer wellness supplement called "Renew" is spreading across Los Angeles, causing ordinary citizens and video bloggers to undergo grotesque, clay-warped body transformations.
