Oliver Nocturne has a fairly typical childhood - for a vampire. But Oliver is different from those around him; his gore-loving vampire schoolmates, his loving vampire parents, and his obnoxious older brother, Bane. That's because, unbeknown to Oliver, he's a little more human than the rest of them. When Emalie, an artistic and defiant human girl with a troubled past, unknowingly takes a picture of him, it sets them both off on a quest to uncover his true origins and the special purpose the vampire world has in store for him.
