In a dream sequence Mick St. John is being interviewed by a woman, explaining that as a vampire he does not bite people, does not sleep in a coffin, cannot turn into a bat and long periods of being under sunlight is not fatal. He explains that garlic, crucifixes, holy water, and wooden stakes are useless vampires, but flamethrowers and decapitation are fatal. Mick also says that he does not hunt women, children or innocents. Mick wakes up and climbs out of his freezer bed, extracts vials of blood from a hidden fridge and injects himself.

Mick arrives at the crimescene of the murder of a young woman, where Beth Turner is reportering for "BuzzWire". Mick watches as Beth tries to take a picture of the body, which is in the middle of a fountain. Beth taks a picture, but cannot help but notice to large pucture wounds on her neck. While thinking of vampire related titles for her story, Beth runs into Mick, who she says looks very familiar, but he insists they do not know each other. At "BuzzWire", Beth's editor tells her that she like the vampire angle, with Beth saying it just came to her.

The next morning, Beth find the dead woman's car, with a necklace hanging from the rearview mirror. Meanwhile, Mick goes to visit Josef, his vampire friend who is 400 years old. Josey seems concerned about the "vampire" murder being bad for their safety. Mick is also revealed to be 90 years old. Mick goes to the morgue to get some blood and information from his friend. He smells the dead girl found in the fountain, and realises that a vampire did not kill her. Mick and Beck break into the dead girls apartment and find another of the necklaces, with a vial of blood is inside. Someone calls Beth, a person named Josh, and Mick dissapears.

At the dead girl's funeral, her lecturer Professor Ellis gives her eulogy. After the funeral, a blonde girl named Chloe attacks Ellis, slashing his neck. Mick tells Beth that the blood in the vial from the dead girl's apartment is Ellis's. Beth tracks down Chloe who explains about the professor's vampire-worshipping blood cult and how she got her friend Kelly (the dead girl) involved. Mick visits the professor's wife, who tells Mick about her husbands extracurricular activities with nubile college students.

Beth goes to Ellis's class, and gets and invite to his "study group". The next morning, Mick visits Ellis, who insists that he is a vampire. While investidating, Beth leans that Kelly had accused Chloe of stalking her. Mick finds Josef waiting for him in his apartment. Josef talks to Mick about the media attention being drawn to vampires because of Beth. While working, Chloe is murdered by someone in the ancient mask from the proffesors Ellis's office.

Mick finds Chloe's dead in the diner and runs off to save Beth. Beth has some one on one time with Ellis, who discovers her wire. Beth escapes, but is kidnapped by the proffesor's TA. Mick arrives and attacks Ellis. He tracks down the TA and Beth, and manages to save her. Before she passes out, Beth sees the TA stab Mick. Beth wakes up on Mick's couch and remembers that Mick saved her as a child and that he was stabbed by the TA, but Mick says its due to her head injury. After a moment of hesitation, Beth hugs Mick, remembering the ordeal she went through.

In flashbacks from 22 years ago, we see Mick in the room of a kidnapped girl. We later see Mick and his ex-wife fighting ouver the kidnapped girl. Mick stakes Coraline with the leg of a broken chair, lights the place on fire and rescues the girl. Coraline burns to death, and it is revealed that the little girl has grown up to be Beth, and that he's tried to watch over her and keep her safe over the years. He ponders the fact that the last time he held her in his arms, she was a child.
