Vita Ayala weaves together the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with a high-stakes family drama set in modern day New York City. Elysia Puente gets a phone call from her estranged younger brother Angel, begging for help. When the call cuts off, Elysia heads out into a torrential storm to find him. She follows clues and hints down into the storm-barricaded subway... or possibly the underworld. Demons, rats, mafia, and specters of her past rise up with the water as Elysia searches desperately for Angel, hoping to find him before it's too late.
