Kathleen Conklin is an NYU philosophy student desperate to understand how the complex moral maxims of Nietzche and Heidegger can explain a world in which a My Lai or Dachau is possible. Her abstract contemplations soon turn brutally real when a vampire's bite awakens her own unacknowledged thirst for blood.
