Popsy
The "breeder" is a psychopath with an unusual hobby: he keeps dogs and small children in kennels. On the short leash, he also has the fallen "catcher" - a guy with gambling debt who has to turn his conscience off when he goes hunting for his boss. But there's something wrong with that last catch. What the catcher doesn't know: the kidnapped boy is a vampire. And he's not the only one men get in trouble with - because there's also "Popsy". And he doesn't like that his boy was kidnapped.
