Jake and Bradley are vampires, like full blown, Anne Rice style vampires. In the 1700s, they fall in love with the same girl and become almost a throuple type thing.

Jake can’t stand the thought of losing her and wants to turn her constantly, Bradley is very against the idea and won’t let it happen. The girl is involved in an accident and one way or another, is dying in front of them. They’re left with no choice but to turn her.

They have to keep her from her family to keep their identities safe. The people in the town think that Jake and Bradley killed her or whatever, so they move far away. She’s far from everything she has ever known and distraught.

As much as she loves Jake and Bradley, she’s terrified by what she is now. Rejecting the vampire life, refusing to feed, crying all day and begging some higher entity to let her go back to who she was.

They’re both heartbroken, doing anything that they can to help her adjust. Bradley and Jake are at odds about the decision they’ve made. She’s left on her own in their huge property one day while they’re arguing.

She comes across a maid, and she can’t help it, she’s just so thirsty. Jake and Bradley find her covered in blood with the dead maid in her arms. They immediately move to soothe her, telling her that “it’s okay, they’ll clean things up”.

Slowly, she starts to return more to her old self. Being affectionate with them again. They’re relieved. So relieved that even when she starts to have more and more ‘accidents’ that wind up with someone dead in front of her, they tell her that it’s not her fault and cover for her.

She goes from being this innocent little farm girl to a blood-thirsty monster in the span of weeks, essentially.

Jake leans into it at first. He likes the sex that they’re having, and he likes seeing her enjoy the new life he has given her.

Bradley’s more apprehensive but he’s got a soft spot for her. Even covered in blood, when she comes crawling into his lap, he can’t stay upset with her.

But things quickly spiral out of control. She becomes obsessed with the pleasure that her newfound life affords her. Both from feeding and from sex. As Jake and Bradley start to tell her no, she pulls away from them.

They’re furious to find out that she turned a local boy from a wealthy family, after finding her in bed with him. The boy is thrilled, and mentions turning more people, staying young and beautiful and feeling like this forever. In a rage, Jake kills him and they realise they’ll have to move again.

She runs away from the two of them. Jake and Bradley part ways and spend the next two hundred years heart broken.

After setting up home in southern coastal California, Bradley lives a reclusive life in a big house, searching for purpose. Jake turns up in the middle of the night in 1984 and tells Bradley that he’s been following her, cleaning up her messes to keep her safe this whole time.

She has been turning people freely across the world, leaving families missing loved ones constantly. But she has been leaving a trail and now someone’s following her.
