A young man walks down an empty street to find himself in a confrontation with three, something beyond human, beings. Vampires are real and these seemed to be out for his blood. After his escape, he sets himself upon a course filled with violence, danger, and the unknown. A requisite for this course includes abandoning his identity in order to go underground in this mission to protect humans and hunt the undead. He must learn effective means of protecting himself, and taking down his prey, as well as adapting to and countering the many surprising abilities of that prey. A few years into this self-appointed crusade, he arrives too late to save a woman from a group of vampires. After destroying them he goes to the woman inches from death who tries to give a last request. Dying before she could utter her plea, he tracked down her car to learn more about her. In the back seat he finds a sleeping six week old baby girl. On top of the crusade, he now goes through the trials and tribulations of fatherhood. The deeper into the vampire world he goes the more complexities he discovers. There are communities and groups of highly advanced, organized, and immensely powerful vampires which he encounters, interacts with, and ultimately plays a significant role in events that will shape the future of humankind.
