The third book in the successful Nine Lives of Romeo Crumb series finds Romeo awakening scared and confused from his second death. Romeo finds himself in the deepest, most forbidden place there is, Vent City. Falling into immediate peril, a stranger plucks him to safety only to reveal himself as a long, lost relative. After reluctantly meeting the gruesome Vent City mutants and hearing their heart-wrenching story, they band together to finally get their just revenge from the vicious Alleys who have taken control of the Factory. But a crushing illness threatens to end it all for Romeo, ultimately taking him away from his beloved Dennis forever. Will Romeo's third life be spared in time to face Fidel and bring the Factory back to its rightful owners? Or will the Alleys win again?

Romeo's adventures outside the city have failed in the worst possible way leaving him grossly disfigured. In spite of his tragic misfortune, Romeo is eager to begin again only to return to a city he doesn't recognize, and more distressing, a city that doesn’t recognize him. In a bizarre twist of fate, Romeo finds his only refuge living life as an alley cat in the dreaded Fourth Corner. With a new name and identity, Romeo wonders just how long it will be before Fidel realizes who he really is.
