In the 1970s, after the death of Dracula, a vampire on the set of Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" in Transylvania meets a starving young vampire named Ion Popescu and helps him escape to America to begin a new life, unaware that the boy has been infused with the blood of Dracula himself. Reinventing himself as Johnny Pop, this new incarnation of the King of Vampires gets rich selling an addictive drug that confers vampire powers on its users, and both Johnny and the drug become a hit on the decadent New York art scene, where vampirism is considered chic.
