Torrent is a lilitu, the creature that vampire myths are based on. Having destroyed a human city while trying to alter time, he's on the run from his sire, Citius, who wants nothing more than to see Torrent punished.
But, Torrent can't help but be drawn to a series of murders happening in the greater London area. A serial killer is butchering novice opera singers in a gruesome manner, and it may be the work of something that isn't human at all. Once a tracker and killer of monstrum, Torrent feels the pull to stop the creature's rampage. This brings him to Eileen, a former opera soloist who has just returned home from a mental hospital following the death of her husband. The serial killer wants something from Eileen, something she isn't aware she even has and Torrent is determined to find out what makes her so desirable...
In the United States, English teacher, Sean Bloor, begins to hear voices from ghastly entities. A lilitu Council representative, Reid, saves Sean before he's kidnapped by a suspicious company, Spiros Inc. When Sean's girlfriend is taken to lure him to them, he risks everything to find her, even if it puts him and his new associate in death’s clutches.
Their stories soon spiral into a hunt for survival, an excursion into the darkness of the human and monstrous psyches inside of all of us. Torrent, Eileen, and Sean will battle scores of lilitu henchmen, monsters only dreamed about in nightmares, and uncover what it means to truly live.
