Danton is a 1200-year old vampire, blinded by the Medieval Church, who makes his life as a paranormal romance novelist. He writes about a vampire detective and "pretends" to his fans to be a vampire himself. But book sales are down because he has been without love for over 30 years and just doesn't have that spark of romance left in him. Until he meets Kevin, a disbelieving young man, desperate for a job, who is brought in by Danton's agent to try to lighten up his life and heat up his prose.
