The year is 1942 and something deadly lurks in the shadows of the City of Angels.
When private detective, Rosa Bridger, took the case of tracking down a drug-addled starlet, she thought it would be a simple missing person?s case. But she needs the help of her ex-fling, Steve; the only honest cop she knows. This doesn?t go over so well with her fiancé, Flynn; Hollywood?s hottest swashbuckler. And Rosa has stumbled over the trail of something much more sinister than the hoodlums and hop pushers she is used to dealing with.

And that virus threatens to turn the entire city into immortal creatures ravenous for human blood.
