* Adaptation of Marvel Comics Tomb of Dracula comic book series. In contemporary Boston, Dracula gate-crashes a Satanic ritual and makes off with the intended sacrifice, Dolores. Overcome with love for her, he is unable to drink her blood and instead settles down with her and fathers a child, Janus. But Dracula's enemies are massing against him - a team of vampire hunters, including the wheelchair-bound professor Hans Harker, his crossbow-wielding assistant Rachel van Helsing, a dog named Elijah, and new recruit Frank Drake, a descendant of Dracula, are closing in. Moreover, Dracula has been stripped of his vampire powers by Satan, and now he desperately needs another vampire to restore his powers so that he can both see off the vampire hunters and strike back at the vengeful Satanists pursuing his family.
