What do you do when the love of your life turns into a vampire and leaves you?

Jude, 15, from Whitby gets reckless when Dawn leaves him to become, Rowan, head of the Vampires and he runs away to London to forget about his ‘ghosts’. Flash forward 5 years. There’s been a vampire/wolf war and nothing’s the same anymore. Rowan, now head of the New Vampire Movement is head of the coven and she wants peace.

Jude’s father dies and he reluctantly returns. Old friend Sophie is determined to win Jude’s affections but the course of true love never runs smooth in Whitby. Charlie wants Sophie, Sophie wants Jude and Jude doesn’t know what he wants anymore.

Vampires, Dogs and Freaks live happily in harmony with the humans - for a while.

But can you ever fully trust a vampire?
