Dr. Rain Sommers, the host of Midnight Confessions, a New Orleans late-night radio talk show, was two years old in 1981 when Gavin Firth murdered her mother Desiree Sommers then killed himself. Special agent Trevor Rivette has been hunting a serial killer dubbed "the Vampire" (aka Dante), who's slain five women across the U.S. and is now in New Orleans. The sadistic Dante slashes his victims' throats and leaves a signature rosary just like one Rain's mother wore in some publicity photos. After killing three goth scene teens, Dante targets Rain.
