Chesterton Clinic

The Chesterton Clinic was a private institute located in the English countryside just outside of London. The clinic was owned by a man named Humphrey Chesterton and operated by a man named Jack Rothwell. To the public, the clinic specialized in weight loss treatments and hosted "Think Thin" seminars led by a strict disciplinarian named Coach Willis. Willis' philosophy towards weight management was to get people to lose weight through public humiliation and negative reinforcement. The weight loss seminars were really just a front for Rothman's true purposes however. Coach Willis would prescribe a special dietary supplement to his charges, which would ultimately lead to their deaths. Rothman conspired with the owners of the Ashford Bros. Funeral Home to procure the bodies of those who had died after consuming the pill and brought them to Sir Humphrey Chesterton's private estate.

Chesterton, Rothman, Willis as well as several of their closest friends were actually cannibals. They were all survivors of a plane that crashed en route from London to Marrakech. They were forced to resort to cannibalism to survive and the experience forged a strong bond between all of them. Every year, they would meet with one another at Chesterton's estate to dine on the flesh of the recently deceased and to share their stories.

A journalist named Ruth Cairns began researching a story on the Chesterton Clinic and befriended another seminar attendee named Ben Faraday. The two became close, but when Ben tragically died in a car accident shortly thereafter, Ruth began to suspect that there was more to this accident than met the eye. With the permission of her editor Gwen Cox, Ruth went undercover as a regular patient of the clinic and learned about Rothwell's connection to the Ashford brothers. She tracked the Ashford's to Chesterton's mansion and learned the grim and sordid truth about the clinic's true purpose. Trapped within the mansion's walls, Ruth Cairns became the next victim of the cannibalistic elite.
