A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the
tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are
pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels
have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers,
but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head
of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that
investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards
the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold.
In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and
survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows
something is happening. And he knows the time has come,
that a war is brewing . . .
So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric
virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into
the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley
crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion
and save his city—a city that includes his wife and son—
before it is too late.
