Summary:Life in Bearmouth is one of hard labor and isolation, the sunlit world far above the mine a distant memory.

As tensions rise, Newt is soon looking at Bearmouth with a fresh perspective--challenging the system and setting in motion a change of events that could destroy their entire world.--
