Set in a timeless English village, where everything is picturesque, everything, that is, except for the vampires living in the castle on the hill who come out at night for a little drink of the locals.Val has been raised in a very typical vampire family but has always felt a bit different and hopelessly inept at rising to meet his Dad's high standards. Following a surprise encounter with his reflection, he realises he is not undead, not in the least bit.Now with a big secret to hide, Val must navigate finding out who he truly is, by mingling with the locals to learn the intricacies of their behaviour and what it means to be human. Caught between two worlds as he loves his Mum and Dad (not so much his jealous brother) and has full vampire duties expected of him by his father, whose obsession with the traditional way of life is tricky when they're undead and the villagers despise them.
