In 1854, there was a small town called Jewett City, located in Connecticut. One day, a man named Peter Carson ran through the streets ranting about vampires attacking his family; no one knew what vampires were at the time, but the rumors quickly spread, and people grew worried. Charlotte, an eighteen-year-old girl living with her father, scoffs at the mere thought of a supernatural creature actually existing. She ignores all the warnings, and all the signs. But when she meets Chris one night away from home, will she finally become a believer?
