Los Angeles Enforcer Selim finds himself in the position of having to give his approval for a hunt. It seems that every so often the vampires of the city need to taste fresh blood. Each nest (small community of vampires) is given the ok to hunt for x amounts of humans. Now this has to be handled very carefully. You see a vampire in need of a hunt is apparently in the same state of someone who needs a fix. You know what I mean, someone desperate for drugs, alcohol, chocolate (just thought I would throw that in there to see if you were paying attention) and will do anything to get what they need. The trick is maintaining control and not letting the hunt turn into a blood bath.

Since Selim is the Enforcer, it is his job to take control, organize the hunt, select the victims, and everyone is supposed to accept his decision and abide by it. Things don't quite work out that way. Some of the other vampire leaders resent his authority and try to undermine him. Meanwhile his mortal love, Siri, isn't afraid to question his decisions and has a few secrets of her own to hide. Selim soon finds himself with bigger problems than controlling the hunt and Siri when he hears someone is about to commit an act of betrayal that could destroy the their existence.
