Alyosha is a humble, kind, and shy vampire who suffers from loneliness. On the advice of a psychologist, he started a vlog, where he immerses the viewer in his crazy daily life in each new episode. Lesh only takes blood from bad people, and since vampires cannot enter a house without the owner's invitation, Lesh has registered on service websites where people can call him to their homes. In each episode, Lesh finds himself in strange and interesting situations, proving that being a vampire in 2020 is much more normal than the majority of Russians.
