When the Indestructibles escaped from their prison in the Labyrinth, they weren't the only ones to get out. The Vermin King – a dangerous and deranged creature imprisoned years ago – fled into the tunnels beneath the City, and his nemesis, the aging vigilante known as the Alley Hawk, went after him.
But what is the relationship between the Vermin King and Alley Hawk? Where did this creature come from, and why has he been eternally connected to the City's retired protector? Taking place in the time period between the Indestructibles Books 3 and 4, this is the story not just of Alley Hawk's pursuit of the Vermin King down into the darkness, but also where the creature came from, and Alley Hawk's role in the birth of a monster. It's a look into the City's past, and into the events that can create a hero, a villain... and the immortal bond between the two.
