One hour to live until a prodigy's contract turns a bat into a rising vampire lord.
College student Nate opens his eyes as a newborn vampire bat with a single hour before death claims him. Catherine, an academy prodigy, saves him with a binding contract that links his survival to her will. Every taste of blood triggers a violent evolution, rocketing him from helpless pup toward high-ranking vampire lord status. They enter the Inter-Academy Tournament as partners, gunning for the championship while crossing blades with Daniel, an aristocratic bully. After Nate devours Daniel's soul, the bully's elder brother Cassius swears vengeance, dragging the unlikely duo into a war against a far deadlier foe.
