Description:

A Boeing 77 arrives at JFK and is on the 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 Goodwather, 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 name 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 vampire virus that had infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, wgo 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.
