A gothic horror tale of vampirism and corruption set in 19th-century Transylvania, where a teacher's compassion unleashes supernatural terror that only a seasoned vampire hunter can contain.

A young teacher on her way to a position in Transylvania helps a young man escape the shackles his mother has put on him. In so doing she innocently unleashes the horrors of the undead once again on the populace, including those at her school for ladies. Luckily for some, Dr. Van Helsing is already on his way.
