In present-day San Diego, a brutal drug war rages on both sides of the border. San Diego Detective Reginald Downing has infiltrated a notorious cartel. Unknown to him, the cartel is aware of his true identity, and has marked him for death.

So enters THE VAMPIRE, a brooding and mysterious nocturnal being who savagely rips through the drug soldiers, saving Reggie’s life. He protects the young undercover cop as they work together to dismantle the cartel, and to uncover the traitorous policeman who sold Reggie out.

As events hurtle down the rails towards an explosive, blood-soaked climax, the Vampire tells Reggie his story: the story of his life, his death, and his rebirth into Darkness. In doing so, he reveals the true nature his his and Reggie’s relationship.

NOCTURNAL is a story of honor and disgrace, loyalty and betrayal, crime and punishment, sin and redemption, of seething hatred and self-loathing, and an unshakable love that transcends the boundaries of Life and Death.
