1989, Arkansas, when long-haired bands ruled the airwaves, a mercurial adolescent named Micah Valentine finds himself caught between sucking blood and the rising Meth war; thus, engaging the mysticism of ancient Saints, he spawns the intrepid idealism of CRUSADE within his macabre heart, putting quicksilver and sublimity into his now noble steps, and attempts to extinguish his vampirism--all in the hope of freeing his mother from Meth addiction.
