Plot
The Juliette family is trying to make their life like a human. They go to work, make friends… But bad luck — they are hard to kill, and they often think about fresh human blood. The girl herself thinks with a shudder about the moment when she will have to take a man’s life. Adolescence is an ideal time, because if she neglects the rules, the consequences will be irreversible.
The sister pays close attention to Juliette’s condition, but she is in no hurry to attack anyone. So far, Juliette is limited to blood capsules. According to the assurances of the sister, the stage will soon come when a red liquid will begin to stand out from the eyes, and the mouth itself will fill with saliva and expose the fangs. Trouble cannot be avoided, and Juliette herself understands that something will have to be done.
At this time, a charming African-American girl named Calliope appears at the school. The girl is sweet, beautiful, sociable and sunk into the heart of Juliette. Calliope’s relatives are monster hunters. They often move because America is full of various kinds of evil spirits. These are not only vampires, but also other monsters: zombies, werewolves and other vile monsters, about which many legends have been composed.
A few years ago, Calliope got a chance to deal with the monster, but a random error prevented her from doing so. Parents removed her from the fight for a long time, because they did not see a fighter in their daughter. Cal herself simply dreamed of getting a second chance, because being the only one in the family who did not commit murder is unbearable.
One day, Juliette decides to invite Cal to a party. By that time, the hunter already knew about the little secrets of her admirer. Left alone, the girls surrendered to feelings, and already leaving the room their life was divided into “before” and “after”. But what about Juliette, whose craving for blood will eventually become uncontrollable? Will she be able not to kill her friend in the heat of wild passion, because it is becoming increasingly difficult to restrain…
