The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse make a disturbing appearance in New York City. The Horseman Death breaks away and unleashes havoc on the city. A police lieutenant and sergeant work to track down Death, while not completely sure of what it is they are looking for. Death leaves a gruesome trail of headless corpses. The three remaining Horsemen pay a not-so-friendly late night visit to a writer and order him to return Death to their company. There's one small problem for the writer. If he returns Death, the writer may have to die...again.
