Ian Winthrop dealt in problems of the mind with a focus on irrational fears. His true passion however was drinking and drowning out the problems of his past - an alcoholic father, a failed marriage, a patient who he inadvertently may have murdered. But drinking does not pay the bills and once upon a time he had taken the science of psychiatry seriously. Enter an enigmatic man who calls himself Adamere Thorne. He wears clothing from the turn of the century, carries a cane and has a strange European accent. He is afraid of sunlight, cannot abide looking at crucifixes, has an allergy to garlic and a compulsion to untie knots. He also believes in his heart of hearts that he is a blood-sucking creature of the night, a vampire...and he wants Ian to cure him. At first, Ian wants nothing to do with the mad man but eventually Thorne's charms (and money) wear him down. He agrees to take on this new client against his better judgment and his new patient quickly becomes Ian's obsession. An obsession that could ultimately cost him not only his life...but his very soul.
