When vampires attack David White's small town, only luck, firepower, and the intervention of an elite government task force saves his life.

The alliance with the Elfin Warriors has allowed the US government’s supernatural forces, the Omicron Branch, to hold the line against the demons and take the war to the Vampire Familias, defeating them in battle and reclaiming their resources.
