A killer is loose in New York. The police think it's a sickle-wielding serial killer, but we know that it's something far worse.

We're Supernatural Protection & Investigations (SPI). We battle the very real monsters of myth and legend--and those who would unleash them. We take down the monsters and we cover up the truth. Because when it comes to monsters, the truth won't set anyone free--it'll incite a global panic attack.

In less than 48 hours, New York plays host to the world's largest party--New Year's Eve in Times Square. A million people there, and billions more watching. Unless we find the monster before midnight, when the ball drops, the secret's out and time's up. The countdown has begun.

We're Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. Things that go bump in the night, the monsters you thought didn't exist? We battle them and keep you safe. But some supernatural baddies are just too big to contain, even for us...

When I moved to New York to become a world famous journalist, I never imagined that snagging a job at a seedy tabloid would change my career path from trashy reporter to undercover agent. I'm Makenna Fraser, a Seer for SPI. I can see through any disguise, shield, or spell that a paranormal pest can come up with. I track down creatures and my partner, Ian Byrne, takes them out.

Our cases are generally pretty routine, but a sickle-wielding serial killer has been prowling the city's subway tunnels. And the murderer's not human. The fiend in question, a descendant of Grendel-yes, that Grendel-shares his ancestor's hatred of parties, revelry, and drunkards. And with New Year's Eve in Times Square only two days away, we need to bag him quickly. Because if we don't find him-and the organization behind him-by midnight, our secret's out and everyone's time is up.
