The Descent tells the story of Cassiel, an angel who has been cast out of Heaven and falls into the modern day streets of Baltimore. After being rescued from one of the local gangs, Cassiel is taken in by Gordon, a local police detective, and his sister, Lauren. When Lauren is slain by the gang in retaliation for Gordon's intervention, Cassiel takes up her old sword and sets out for revenge that will draw the attention and wrath of the police department, Heaven, and Hell.
