Hulda's mother, who washes down pills with blue Smirnoff in the morning, also believes that she killed her brother. After being released from custody due to insufficient evidence, she has nowhere to go and wanders around until she encounters Hjört, a millennia-old, lonely, gay vampire who helps her bring her brother Steinda back to life with terrible consequences. at the same time as they have to defend themselves from the intrusion of Esther and Birgitta and their cult, which seems to be chasing them.[4]
