The story of the immortal Transylvanian prince Vlad from the 15th century
One night, a boat with two rowers arrives at the shore of Snagov Island. Seeking refuge on the monastery grounds is none other than the Transylvanian prince Vlad, accompanied by his beloved Alexis. The problem is that he fell in battle some time ago and was buried with full honors and sorrow in the crypt of his castle.
The awakened dead wants to forget the world and disappear from the eyes of the living, yet the world does not forget him. When a monastery huntsman, a girl named Spark, and a small restless spirit get involved, everything changes. Evil has not vanished and is raising its hideous head once more.
