The Story
The series begins with an homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula: A
boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport. It stops, dead,
on the tarmac. The airplane is full of pale corpses. A strange
coffin filled with dirt is found in the cargo hold. This marks
the coming of Jusef Sardu, a vampire known as The Master, to the
United States.
