Victoria "Vic" McQueen, a young artist with supernatural abilities that allow her to find lost things, including people, meets with her long-time mentor and close friend, Maggie Leigh, who has visions of the future. Maggie urges Vic to let go of her pursuit of the evil seductive immortal, Charlie Manx, who abducts children and takes them to Christmasland, a twisted fantasy place where their souls are drained.
Meanwhile, Manx's henchman, Bing Partridge, prepares for a visit from his sister which causes him stress and anxiety. Manx confronts Bing about his sister's upcoming visit, hoping to keep him focused on their shared mission. In a bid to further maintain Bing's loyalty, Manx tasks him with the responsibility of bringing the next child for Christmasland: Wayne McQueen, Vic's son, whom Manx kidnaps with the aid of his supernatural car, effectively trapping him in a realm between worlds.
As Vic senses her son's abduction, she receives visions of a covered bridge, and, with the help of Maggie's Scrabble tiles, locates it and enters Manx's Christmasland. Along the way, she meets an old acquaintance from her past who has been trapped in the otherworld for years and together they navigate the dark tunnels of Christmasland, encountering the souls of other children long gone.
Meanwhile, Wayne, confused and scared, wanders alone in Christmasland, where he also encounters the other trapped children while being hunted by Manx, who is intent on turning him into a creature like himself.
As Vic and her ally attempt to escape the tunnels and locate her son, Manx and Bing are in hot pursuit with dangerous intent. In this episode, the stakes are higher than ever before as Vic and Manx's clash comes to a head. The Dark Tunnels takes viewers on a journey filled with more supernatural horror, emotional stakes, and heart-wrenching moments than any episode before.
