From New York City to Florida and now to the Siberian tundra, Snake Plissken finds himself forced to be a soldier, bringing him face-to-face with new threats and parts of his past. Meanwhile, Jack Burton's soul looks to crash the rumble-and-tumble showdown in Chinatown, while the backstories of Clive Barker's eclectic creatures from Nightbreed are explored throughout the centuries.
