Dracula: Reborn

In Los Angeles, Jonathan Harker proposes selling an abandoned building to Vladimir Sarkany for $12.5 million. The sale would give Jonathan and his wife Lina the financial means to start a family, even as Sarkany's true identity looms. The deal marks the first step into a dangerous, vampiric world.

That night, Jonathan visits Sarkany's home to sign the property deed. He notices a painting that bears a striking resemblance to Lina, hinting at a disturbing link. The moment foreshadows Sarkany's influence and the dangerous path ahead.

Quincy Morris warns Jonathan that Sarkany murdered his girlfriend Lucy Spencer. The warning sows distrust and fear about the true danger they face. It also connects Sarkany to a past crime, deepening the mystery.

Detectives Holmwood and Varna begin investigating Lucy's disappearance in Los Angeles. They interview people, search areas, and follow leads as the case grows more tangled. The investigation brings human authorities into contact with uncanny forces at work.

Renfield manipulates events to frame Quincy for Lucy's murder, clouding the truth and turning investigators against one another. The deception shows Sarkany's far-reaching influence and tightens the noose around those trying to uncover the truth. The plot thickens as trust erodes among the players.

At Sarkany's home, Lina is drawn under a hypnotic influence as Sarkany uses the painting as a trigger. Jonathan watches, powerless to intervene as Lina becomes entangled in Sarkany's control. The scene marks Lina's vulnerability to supernatural manipulation.

On the way home, Jonathan and Lina's car breaks down, forcing them to camp in the woods. In the same moment, Sarkany hypnotizes Holmwood and Varna, then goes to bite Lina, infecting her with a creeping illness. The two strands of danger intersect, escalating the peril.

As dawn breaks, the car finally starts and Lina is taken for blood work by Dr. Joan Seward to assess her mysterious illness. The medical steps underscore the severity of Lina's condition and the unknown threat she carries. Jonathan clings to rational explanations as the mystery deepens.

The next day, Lucy's corpse is discovered in a trunk, confirming the danger surrounding Sarkany. Simultaneously, Lina is revealed to be infected by an anonymous organism multiplying inside her. The crime and the infection raise the stakes dramatically.

Quincy pleads with Jonathan to help kill Sarkany, but Jonathan refuses to believe Sarkany is a Vampire. Moments later, Renfield murders Quincy by running him over with a truck, eliminating a crucial ally. The tragedy demonstrates the reach of Sarkany's power over people and events.

Vampire hunter Van Helsing arrives and informs Jonathan that there is only one day to rescue Lina before she becomes a Vampire. He and Jonathan form a plan to confront Sarkany and end his hold over Lina. The looming deadline shifts the focus from suspicion to urgent action.

Jonathan confronts Sarkany at his new house with a crucifix, but the vampire's hypnotic power renders it ineffective. After a brutal struggle, Van Helsing is killed, and Jonathan and Lina finally kill Sarkany by driving stakes through his heart. In a cruel twist, Lina bites Jonathan and becomes a Vampire, with Renfield now serving her.
