The year is 1922. 25 years have passed since the vampire Dracula has finally met his end after living in the darkness of undeath for 400 years. But traces of his corruption, his dark influence on the lives of those who fell victim to his lust for blood, still lives on. The nightmare still draws breath as a specter and a shadow, it's claws buried deep not just inside one's psyche, but flows through blood and passes on to the next generation like a curse. After all their losses and living apart for decades, long after they had buried the frightening memories of The Vampire with the dead, can the survivors of Bram Stoker's Dracula face another evil? Based on the novels "Dracula The Un-dead" by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt & "Dracula The Undead" by Freda Warrington
