Five hundred years later, Brad Tepp, a successful Seattle real estate investor, develops an insatiable craving for blood, so much so, he thinks he may be turning into a modern day vampire. All he can think about and dream about is drinking blood. Fearing he is losing his mind, he seeks professional help. After being diagnosed with porphyria, The Disease of Vampires, he is given the prognosis of a year to live. Desperate to find a cure, he searches the internet which leads him to Dr. Nicholas Pitrowski, a Transylvanian geneticist who theorizes that porphyria is an inherited disease which originated with Vlad Dracula. He thinks that if he can find Dracula's remains and clone him, he can isolate the gene responsible for the disease and develop a cure. The men team up and set off on Halloween night searching for Dracula's remains. The process goes horribly wrong, putting their lives in danger, when they unleash a monster that threatens both themselves and Nadia, a beautiful woman who is key to Brad and Nicholas's success or failure. In part two, BLOOD BORN??, Brad and Nadia return to Seattle to become man and wife. Shortly after that, Nadia begins having dreams about Dracucla sucking her blood. She can't eat, she can't sleep and she's afraid of the dark. When Brad takes her to his doctor, she learns she is pregnant. However, unknown to them, Dracula has followed them back to Seattle where he begins a series of killings, feeding off his victims until he can find Nadia. After several young panhandlers are killed and drained of their blood, Jake Martin, a local private-eye, becomes involved searching for the killer. At first, he is reluctant to believe that it is Dracula doing the killing, but after a trip to the morgue, he changes his mind. When Brad leaves on a trip to California, he hires Maria Sanchez to stay with Nadia. One night, as Nadia returns from the grocery store, Maria falls from the sky and lands on the hood of her car, her throat ripped out. Nadia rushes into the house, but Dracula beats her inside. As she calls 911 to report Maria's death, Dracula captures her and takes her to his lair. Jake, a regular at the Blue Star lounge, gets a call from Maria's brother. They work out a deal and Jake takes on the case to find Maria's killer in exchange for his bar tab. During the investigation, Jake travels to Brad's house and discovers that Nadia is missing.
