A group of young vampires are subjected to a daring experiment by the Elders: taken in by a boarding school that also housed mortal teenagers, with the intent of civilizing the vampires.
After day student Dillan is attacked by a suddenly crazed Karl, Drew must choose between saving her life or helping her face the prospect of becoming a vampire. Meanwhile, the search is on for Bridget, the rogue vampire, and if she is not found or Dillan is "turned", the experiment is terminated.
