В сточных трубах под Дептфордом поселилось дьявольское создание, сеющее ужас в темных туннелях. Юпитер Всевластный жаждет господства над всем миром. Страшные крысы поклоняются ему и готовы в любую минуту воплотить в жизнь самые жуткие мечты своего Повелителя. Но вот маленькая робкая мышь волей случая попадает в сумрачное царство зла и невольно ввергает свой народ в пучину страха и злых чар. Смогут ли мыши выстоять перед лицом зла? Или им придется навсегда распрощаться с уютным миром, еще совсем недавно казавшимся таким прочным и надежным?

...Тело убитого мышонка лежит в освещенном лунным светом поле. Крики совы эхом раздаются сквозь шелест созревших колосьев пшеницы.

Недавно приехав в деревню, вырвавшиеся от Юпитера дептфордские мыши снова столкнулись с холодящими кровь злодеяниями, оказавшись втянутыми в серию зловещих убийств. Вначале простые сельские мыши подозревают Одри, одну из дептфордских мышей, но правда оказывается куда более страшной...

Призрак Юпитера вернулся, еще более ужасный, чем раньше. Охваченный жаждой мести, он погружает мир в вечную зиму.

И кто знает, сколько из них выживет... и какой ценой!
