Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop of hidden supernatural conflicts within modern society, this series follows a young man struggling to reconcile his human desires with a newly awakened vampiric nature. The narrative delves into the complexities of identity as he navigates a world where ancient powers and clandestine organizations operate in the shadows. The story explores themes of belonging and self-acceptance through interactions with other supernatural beings – both allies and adversaries. Expect a blend of action and character-driven drama, examining the challenges of forging one's path when burdened by extraordinary abilities and grappling with moral ambiguities within a world constantly teetering on the brink of open war between humans and vampires. The series presents a thoughtful exploration of prejudice, responsibility, and the search for meaning in a world far from ordinary.
