It's summer, a little residential neighborhood is submerged by fear when its inhabitants learn that a burglar escaped from the island facing their homes. What to do ? The streets are wide, the walls are low, the heat is punishing and he could be anywhere.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft sometimes wrote his tales in a state of trance, even unconsciousness. Starting from mysterious audio tapes found at his home, 'Return to Providence' reveals the duplicity of this man from another time in broad daylight. We find him lost in his fantasies, trapped between the fear of vanished gods at the end of the seas and the peace of his childhood home in Providence, place of wisdom and constant daydreams.
