In 'The Strain', a Boeing 777 arrives at JFK airport in New York and suddenly stops on the runway. All the blinds are down, the lights are off, and the communication channels are silent. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of the CDC's Canary project, boards the plane and discovers a chilling scene: most of the passengers are dead. Meanwhile, Abraham Setrakian, a Holocaust survivor, senses that a war is coming. As a vampiric virus spreads through the city, Eph and a group of fighters must stop the threat before it is too late for New York and the world.
