However, his life takes a shocking turn when he discovers he is a Dampyr—a half-human, half-vampire being with the ability to kill vampires.
Harlan teams up with a group of rebels who are battling a powerful vampire lord and his army of bloodthirsty minions. Alongside his allies, including the skilled fighter Kurjak (Stuart Martin) and the vampire Tesla (Frida Gustavsson), Harlan embraces his true identity to confront his destiny. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to save humanity while delving into Harlan’s mysterious past and the origin of his supernatural abilities.
