Carter Costello leads a semi-regular life, being an only child to a widowed father after her mother died in a terrible accident while she was still a baby. The only thing unusual about her life is her horrible night terrors, that often wake her in a sweat and keep her from sleeping most nights. It wasn't until her best friend Avery pulled her along to investigate murders going on in the city over that everything changed. Carter has to deal with far more than just school and homework once her life becomes tangled with supernatural affairs. One being the enigmatic Greyson, a brooding vampire whose charm secures her a spot directly in the crossfire. She didn't expect to be involved in any of this, but as she finds out more about her own past she figures out that it is something that she no longer has a choice in.
