In Morganville, Texas, a small college town where evil terrorizes the streets under the cover of darkness, Claire Danvers discovers that her new roommates are vampires and all hell breaks loose as the living party with the dead.
While working for the most powerful vampire in town in order to protect her friends, Claire trains under Myrnin, a strong but mentally unstable vampire, and faces off with Mr. Bishop, who seeks to wreak havoc at a formal ball.
Vampires and humans coexist in harmony in Morganville until the arrival of the evil vampire Bishop, an event which forces Claire Danvers and her friends to join an underground resistance movement to stop him from destroying all the inhabitants of the town.
