London, 2055. Five years earlier, the world was plunged into nuclear winter. The sun disappeared behind the clouds, and from the shadows of the world, the vampires came forth and took over the world.
With much of the world demolished by nuclear war, Western Europe has become the center of the world. A Council of Vampire Elders controls the populations of bloodthirsty vampires, as well as the humans living under their thumbs and the dhampirs who linger as outsiders in this new world order.
Recently, there have been rumors of a new class of people - Hunters, who have powers rumored to be able to match those of the vampires. The Council of Elders has come to London in order to assess the nature of this threat. Have they now become sitting ducks for a new breed of hero? Or are the Hunters merely a myth offered to give humanity a glimpse of hope that doesn't exist?
