Struggling to adapt to the fast-paced urban environment, the gargoyles encounter Elisa Maza, a tenacious NYPD detective investigating strange occurrences. When Elisa witnesses the gargoyles in action, she becomes an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, the cunning billionaire David Xanatos plots to capture the gargoyles, hoping to harness their power for his own gain.
