But when the man comes after her, Serafina goes into fight mode and succeeds in getting away, but not before biting him. She finds the girl just in time to see a ghoulish looking man wrap the folds of his cloak around her and then…she simply disappears. One night, after catching two rats, Serafina hears footsteps that don't belong in the basement, followed by the cries of a young girl for help. She is also the CRC, Chief Rat Catcher, and it is a job she's very good at. No one there knows about Serafina, and she has learned to make herself unnoticeable in the presence of other people. Pa's job there is to maintain the Dynamo, a machine that keeps the electricity running throughout the building. It's 1899 and Serfina and her pa have lived in the basement boiler room of the sprawling Biltmore estate, home to the Vanderbilt family in Asheville, North Carolina, for 12 years.
