Angry guts, itching in his clads and a giant pimple on his nose. Vladimir von Rotenbeck is no ordinary vampire. Blood makes him sick to the bone, an ailment that made him the shame of the family.
Vladimir swears that on the Night of the Dead he will be able to drink blood again. During his search for a cure, he meets the fortune-teller girl Naswikka. She tells him that a greater danger lurks than evil bowels.
On the Night of the Dead, a vampire hunter will make Knekelstein unsafe. His goal: to exterminate all vampires. Does Vladimir dare to become a hero and save his mother and sisters, even if they think he is a worthless fake vampire?
