In 18th-century Romania, after spending much of her life in a traveling circus, human-vampire hybrid Rayne escapes and plots to take down her father, Kagan, the evil vampire king. When she's discovered by three vampire hunters, she manages to convince them to spare her life and join her cause. But slaying a vampire as powerful as Kagan will be no easy task.
Rayne, a half-human, half-vampire 'dhampir', discovers her vampire heritage and seeks revenge against her father, the king of vampires. She joins a band of vampire hunters to infiltrate her father's fortress and stop his evil plans. Along the way, she battles supernatural creatures and confronts her own inner demons as she embraces her unique abilities.
