The novel follows the life of Dr. Edward Weyland, an anthropologist who is also a vampire, as he navigates the complexities of modern society while concealing his true nature. Unlike traditional vampires, Weyland does not rely on supernatural powers but instead uses his intellect and scientific understanding to satisfy his needs for blood and to study human behavior. The story is divided into five sections, each offering a different perspective on Weyland's interactions with humans, ranging from a psychologist who uncovers his secret to a victim who survives an attack.
