Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray 
(Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a 
secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to 
protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother (Lena 
Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce 
her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, 
warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. Based on the
