The story
Bored with dull divorce cases, ex-cop-turned-private-detective Erika “Colt” Coltrane decides to investigate a series of eerie murders that has been kept secret thanks to police corruption. Sooner than expected, she finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy involving a small vampire cult led by Vanessa, a mysterious figure convinced that drinking Nick Payne’s blood (Colt’s client) will turn her vampire symptoms into superhuman powers. Colt has to rush and do her best detective work to solve the murders — and to save Nick, and herself, from the vampires’ killing rampage.
