Theodora, Sherman y Dexter se van a la Gran Manzana a pasar las vacaciones, ¡y no pueden esperar! Sin embargo, si Drácula y mamá pensaron que un viaje al extranjero mantendría a Theodora a salvo de monstruos malvados con intenciones siniestras, estaban equivocados. Porque Nueva York está repleta de Shadowmongers: criaturas sombrías y astutas controladas por el enemigo más siniestro de todos. Un enemigo que no quiere nada más que ver derribada a la Monstruosa Liga de Monstruos... y a Theodora con ella.

Después de enfrentarse a una bruja malvada, un esqueleto-cuervo ladrón y un ejército de muertos vivientes, Theodora Hendrix, una chica de diez años, está segura de que puede manejar cualquier cosa, hasta que conoce al desagradable inspector Shelley y a su aún más desagradable rata mascota. Shelley y Ratsputin han venido a espiar a la Monstruosa Liga de los Monstruos y están decididos a crear problemas en todo momento. Entonces Theodora hace un descubrimiento propio: un escarabajo maldito. Necesita destruirlo sin llamar la atención del inspector, y rápido. Lo que está en juego no podría ser más importante: si Theodora falla, su amada familia de monstruos se pudrirá en las cárceles más húmedas y oscuras de Transilvania.
