 In this series opener, two American brothers, Max (Jacob Tierney) and Chris (Joe Roncetti), are left behind in Europe with their eccentric uncle Gustav (Bernard Behrens) while their mother travels on business. While Chris spends his time pining for American television and attempting to romance a young music student also living with Gustav (Mia Kirshner), the younger brother, Max, who happens to be a supernatural enthusiast, is positive that his uncle is a vampire and goes to see multi-millionaire Alexander Lucard for help. Little does he know that the rich businessman is hiding a secret of his own.
