Welcome to life after dark in 19th century Philadelphia in a new take on an old myth. The life of Jessie, a hospital cook, is abruptly changed one evening when she is taken by a vampire. She fights the changes in herself, futilely trying to hold onto her sanity and humanity with every ounce of strength she has. When she finally surrenders, she learns what it is to be a vampire, the “Rules,” and how to hunt and kill. Needing a new way to earn a living, she apprentices herself to her mortician vampire sire and begins to learn about blood and nature of vampirism. In her off hours, she skirts the edges of Victorian society protecting the ladies of the evening, trying to balance out the evil she must do at other times. Slowly, tensions rise between the young vampires and the Old Ones, until a Prophet emerges from their ranks and Jessie must make choices that change her world almost as much as that night she met her first vampire.
