Based on the series synopsis, The Conjuring: The Lover will expand the story behind a college freshman named Jessica, she will be returning to campus after winter break. In her return, she will bring the anxieties of the poor grades she had in the last semester, facing a boy she wishes she'd never slept with, as well as the feeling of being watched.
Jessica soon learns that she has become the target of something evil who will not rest until it still has her in its unholy grip. Each of the issues will feature the backup story that will explore the mysteries of the artifact room of Ed and Lorraine Warren from The ConjuringUniverse Issue #1's backup.
