Hauer is a young man comfortable traveling the suburban backstreets and woods of Ellicott City as a vagabond with no responsibilities except to the back pack slung over his shoulder. His favorite destination is a burnt out, condemned paper mill, home to a vampire by the name of Anushka - a melancholy vampire assassin haunted by loneliness and self-imposed isolation. Her vow to never feed on humans is tested when a chance meeting pits her with Hauer and tests her resolve.
