Rodney Priddle is an average sort of small town guy from Beavertooth, Saskatchewan, who accepts the job of personal assistant to a vampire. Count Vladimir (Vladi) Baranowski is not your average vampire, however, as his naive joie de vivre and unending search for his place in the world leave him vulnerable to disappointments. As Rodney scrambles to stay ahead of everything that could go wrong for his boss, Vladi kicks off his first North American tour in Las Vegas, where he hopes to test his luck in love. They're not in the City of Sin for long, when Vladi lands himself in hot water, and Rodney's forced to hatch a clever escape plan to save the Count's trip from disaster. Things go from bad to worse in Charleston, where Rodney falls for a Southern belle just as the count has his heart broken by another. In the end, Rodney finds that ties of friendship are stronger than the allure of love. What's more, after bringing Vladi to his hometown for the Count's own protection, Rodney discovers that friendship can sometimes also be thicker than blood.
