Hendrix Grey seems like a normal teenage boy, but he has a secret: He has nightmares about people dying, and they come true. When Hendrix realizes that his nightmares have attracted the attention of murderous, shadowy creatures called inklings, he has no choice but to run for his life. He manages to escape the inklings with the help of a vampire named Silvanus, but in the process, he is infected with vampire blood. Once infected, Hendrix has just one month left to live before he'll die and turn into a vampire. Silvanus is the only one that can keep him from becoming a monster, but in exchange, Hendrix has to hunt vampires and inklings. While Hendrix struggles to control his bloodthirsty instincts and learn the ropes of his new job, he befriends a werewolf named Juliet and a hotheaded pyrokinetic named Flick. The more time Hendrix spends with Juliet, Flick, and Silvanus, the more he realizes that they're not the hunters; they're the ones being hunted.
