Under the roar of the subways, out of the deep, wet caves, comes a fury from Hell. Beautiful news reporter Lya Marsden and hard-bitten detective Michael Corvino descend into the eerie maze of abandoned tunnels beneath New York City. They are searching for a train that vanished with all aboard over half a century ago. In the clammy darkness, beneath the concrete skyscrapers, they discover an unholy evil waiting to disgorge itself in violence and blood. The investigation plunges them into an urban labyrinth where the decay of 80s-era New York meets the occult, a 'Subway Slasher,' hordes of feral cats, and an array of primeval and modern monsters, all threatening to swallow the four-hundred-year-old city and its inhabitants whole.
