Life in New York City marches on, but with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scattered, the mutant population is more vulnerable than ever.

A new symbol of safety and justice is born in the shadows, but even the best intentions can lead to unforeseen consequences…

In the wake of the M-Bomb that was dropped in Union Square over a year ago, many New Yorkers’ lives were turned upside down as they struggled to adapt to their new normal as human-born mutants. As the social media circus descends on a new mutant who turned to crime after her life was destroyed, Nightwatcher seeks to find her first and discover the full story. The supposedly simple case rapidly gets more complicated as more details are revealed, though, and it’s up to Nightwatcher to determine who truly needs justice.

As a new district attorney takes office in New York City, stoking backlash against the acceptance and political progress mutants have been striving for, Nightwatcher is on the hunt for the Mutant Town crime boss Lao Ban. The only lead to Lao Ban is already trying to escape the city, though, and there’s no guarantee he’ll give up the intel Nightwatcher needs. If Nightwatcher can’t persuade him to turn on Lao Ban, the trail will go cold...and they aren’t the only one who’s been tracking down Lao Ban’s loose end.

Enter Lao Ban. Discover the origin of Nightwatcher’s foe who has been controlling Mutant Town. How did an injured bear who lived in the zoo become a mutant kingpin following the events of the great M-bomb drop? How has he assembled every piece of information about Jennika’s life before and after she became NIghtwatcher? Nightwatcher’s greatest fight begins now. It’s life or death, and if things go Lao Ban’s way, neither of them may make it out of this fight alive. The Nightwatcher saga takes its most dramatic turn yet here, and what happens next will shock us all.

Nightwatcher is beaten and heartbroken from the epic conclusion to the first arc of the series. As she puts the pieces of her life back together and debates whether or not she wants to continue being the Nightwatcher, Lao Ban tries to offer her a place in his future. A future that is great for mutants and awful for everyone else. And in her wounded state…Nightwatcher gives it serious thought. Is her soul in the balance and Lao Ban’s for the taking?!

Jennika finds herself at her lowest point yet. Meanwhile, the technologically enhanced mutant crime boss Lao Ban presses his dominance over the terrified citizens of Mutant Town. Can Nightwatcher find a way to pull herself together and discover a new strategy to take down a seemingly unstoppable threat?
