none. Welcome to the home turf of Reg Martin, a Homicide Detective
considered damaged goods by his peers. Turning to alcohol after his
partner is killed under unexplained circumstances, Reg's career and
marriage lay in ruins. Despite his soiled reputation, he is
requested by his former employer, the RCMP, to investigate the
murder of one of thier own. The case is a deal breaker and could
save or end more than just his career. Still, Reg is reluctant to
take the job. Haunted at night with visions of the friend he
couldn't save, tormented each day by news reports about a spate of
brutal murders, the victims drained of blood. Reg knows there is a
link between these crimes and his missing partner. To find the
answers he must go it alone, and the chain of evidence leads him to
a nightclub called "The Afterlife." Suddenly, the action
intensifies as bodies disappear and Reg realizes that he is being
shadowed by a mysterious figure. Out of options, he must put aside
his fears and accept the unimaginable. Vampires are real and he
will have to befriend one of them if he hopes to survive a war with
a vampire queen and her bloodthirsty followers. Love, betrayal,
redemption - Blood Promise is an adult story graphic and unsettling
building in intensity from the beginning until the end.
