Summer 1985. The “Valley Vampire” is on the loose in Los Angeles, mutilating his victims and draining their blood. Rico Leyva just wants to play the local clubs with his band, Hell’s Night. When he meets the alluring and mysterious Damon Grace, Rico falls hard.

Damon’s an odd duck, though: he’s startlingly pale, skinny, and his unnaturally golden eyes seem to change color depending on the day.

Turns out Damon’s a vampire. But he’s one of the good ones, right?
