NYPD Captain Tony Mace sits behind a desk in the K-9 unit, counting days until retirement. Two years ago he killed Janus Farel, a rogue werewolf who stalked New York City. Now Mace knows the truth: peaceful Wolves live quietly among ordinary citizens. The Brotherhood of Torquemada arrives with a different view. These fanatics train assassins from childhood to exterminate all Wolves. Each killer carries a silver Blade of Salvation and a sacred mission. Bodies start dropping across the city. The NYPD and FBI realize an ancient war has erupted in modern New York. They need someone who understands both sides. Mace gets pulled back into action, leading a secret task force to stop the bloodshed before civilians panic. His wife Cheryl works as a journalist. She starts digging into the story that could expose everything. Mace must choose between protecting the Wolves, serving his department, and keeping his family safe.
