The plot is set during the Balkan war in the early nineties. Haunted by horrible nightmares, Harlan Draka wanders the countryside, shamelessly making money pretending to be a Dampyr – half human/half vampire – ridding villages of what the villagers naively believe to be evil vampires. But when he is summoned by soldiers who are under attack by real vampires, Harlan learns the horrible truth: his nightmares are reality!
