In a 1930s Illinois, we follow the tale of Daniel Groth, a down-on-his-luck but good spirited gravedigger who simply disappears one day without a trace, leaving behind his best and only friend, Christine, of whom he was secretly in love with. He returns months later to Christine's house...very much changed. Now a horrifying creature of the night, Daniel's true personality is fading away, leaving only his unquenchable desire for blood.
It's July 4th, 1934 in a town called Oak Parkland, Illinois. Daniel Groth, a gravedigger, is planning to see a fireworks display with his long time friend, Christine. He's also looking to finally tell Christine that he is in love with her, but Wayne's ex-boyfriend has plans of his own. All of this leads to Daniel and Christine's lives changing forever...
After mysteriously vanishing for three months, Daniel finally returns to his beloved Christine, but with a noticeably altered personality and appearance.
