Melville wakes with a pounding headache - there had been too many hangovers recently, but this one felt different. What had he been drinking last night? Then he remembered - it was blood.
Enter the bizarre world of Scouse Gothic where a reluctant vampire mourns a lost love and his past lives, where a retired 'hit man' plans one more killing and dreams of food, and a mother sets out to avenge her son's murder, and, meanwhile, a grieving husband is visited by an angry angel.

But as their lives converge, who will be expected to atone for past sins?
