In 'Oscura', the second installment of the 'Strain Trilogy', Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan immerse us in a world where disease and quarantine spread uncontrollably. Eph and Nora, in a race against time, identify the parasite causing the infection, while finding themselves caught in a fierce battle between vampires from the Old and New Worlds for the dominion of the planet. Humanity, displaced in the food chain, faces the horror of being consumed. After the awakening of the vampires in 'Nocturna', the battle for control of the planet intensifies, taking the darkness to a new level.
