When a Boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport and goes dark on the runway, the Center for Disease Control, fearing a terrorist attack, calls in Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team of expert biological-threat first responders. Only an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem suspects a darker purpose behind the event - an ancient threat intent on covering mankind in darkness! Adapting the first novel from Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's ''The Strain Trilogy'', this horrifying first chapter deals with an outbreak of diabolical proportions that puts a terrifying twist on the vampire genre. A thriller for science-fiction and horror fans alike.
