Ashley is a young, newly-turned vampire and has no control over his thirst for blood. Each night he kills several people in attempt to satisfy the burning in his throat. He doesn't want to hurt people, but he has no choice. His behaviour is soon brought to the attention of Andy, an old, well respected vampire, who thinks that Ashley is a threat and could expose the vampire kind, so he decides to kill him. But once he lays eyes on the newbie vamp, he makes it his mission to help him instead and teach him self-control and rules of vampirism.
