Whether fleeing cutthroats in a cat and mouse chase over the roofs of the Docks, or avoiding a full-scale war in the streets of the Mercers' Quarter, or trying to stop the society wedding of the decade, each of The Spider's three teams are on a desperate mission to thwart the Unseen's insidious plans.
