In the neon‑slick shadows of Southern California, an ancient hunger thrives beneath the glitter of nightclubs and the hum of endless traffic. A secret society of vampires moves with practiced elegance, bound by a strict code that keeps their predatory nature hidden from the unsuspecting city above. The atmosphere is a blend of gritty street‑level realism and gothic allure, where the line between predator and protector blurs, and every whispered conversation might conceal a razor‑sharp fang.

Dr. Van Helsing emerges as the lone figure willing to confront this nocturnal underworld. He is a seasoned hunter whose life has been shattered by a brutal act of the undead that claimed his son, igniting a relentless drive for retribution. Haunted by loss yet fueled by a fierce sense of justice, he navigates a world where allies can be as dangerous as enemies, and his own dark instincts threaten to consume the very resolve that keeps him on the hunt. The city itself becomes a character—its sun‑soaked avenues and moonlit alleys forming a jagged landscape for his vengeance.

Alongside the hunter, enigmatic figures such as Dallas, a charismatic yet reckless vampire, and Nico, a newcomer thrust into the hidden realm, illustrate the complex web of loyalties and betrayals that shape this clandestine community. A powerful presence known only as The Count enforces the ancient rules that govern the night, reminding everyone that defying the code carries a steep price. As the hunter delves deeper, he must balance his grief‑driven fury with the seductive pull of the very darkness he seeks to eradicate, setting the stage for a tense, atmospheric clash where every choice could tip the fragile balance between humanity and the night.
