That cigar-chomping agent, Hellboy (Ron Perlman), is back, and this time he battles the evil Prince Nuada (Luke Goss). Aiding Hellboy in his mission of using superpowers for good are his Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development colleagues: his girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), Johann Krauss (John Alexander and James Dodd), and robotic/aquatic Abe Sapien (Doug Jones). In order to raise the Golden Army of wind-up people that lunge forward on springs for the powers of darkness, Prince Nuada must first reassemble the mystical crown that is being protected by his sister Princess Nuala (Anna Walton).

Jean Travers (Vanessa Redgrave) is a schoolteacher in the small Yorkshire town of Wetherby. She leads a quiet life and has never accepted the death of her boyfriend many years ago. She has a small dinner party for two couples who are friends. There is also another dinner guest who was uninvited, but all assumed that he was with one of the couples or with Jean. The next day, the stranger comes to Jean's house, and during a visit with her he puts a gun in his mouth and kills himself. The resulting investigation of who he was and what was meant by the events makes for good mystery and drama. As the party of the prior evening is again shown, the viewer sees the dinner in a completely different way.
