Vanessa White is a vampire who is on the prowl after her boyfriend, who has faked his own death. She knows however that his kind cannot die, for he is one the Elite, a race of immortals that even vampires don't believe in. The Elite are the ancestors of human vampires, having created them by breeding with humans back when time began. Vanessa has always sought them out, believing in them since she became a vampire. Now that she has met one, she won't let him go without a fight. She doesn't realize that Descher, another Elite, is also looking for her boyfriend, Jules. His purpose is different as he has been charged to destroy the renegade Elite. Jules has broken ancient laws by allowing his existence to be found out. It's a race to see who will find who first, and whether blood or passion will flow in the depths of the night.
