The story

What Is Rats About?

The premise of Rats without spoilers.

Brookedale Psychiatric Hospital, a crumbling former prison barely able to stay open, sits atop a labyrinth of tunnels and decaying sewage viaducts. The desperate administration scrambles to keep the doors unlocked, yet only a single staff member knows its macabre secret: a creature lurks beneath the walls, having developed a taste for human blood.
