Gregor, an eleven-year-old boy, and his two-year-old sister, Boots, fall through a grate in their apartment building's laundry room. They soon discover that they have landed in the Underworld, a dark land located far, far beneath their New York City neighborhood.
The Underworld is filled with six-foot talking cockroaches, bats, spiders and rats, some of whom threaten the existence of the Underworld's human community. As Gregor and Boots set out on a quest to find their long-lost father, they realize that they are part of a prophecy in which they are expected to save the Underworld from destruction! Can two New York City kids save an entire land and find their father?
