As he investigates Jack's dissapearance Michael crosses the path of a group of investigators from a secret British government agency who claim to be investigating vampires, usually referred to as leeches. The secret squad is made up of a soldier Vaughn Rice, a scientist Angela March and a priest Pearse Harman; as the series progresses Michael is accepted into the squad as a key member. Each episode in the series tells a stand alone story with an overriding story arc questioning why vampire attacks are rising during recent years. Although rarely seen during the series vampires have their stories told through Michael and the team investigating vampires through the humans who are interacting with them. Unlike traditional vampire stories the plague of vampires is explained to Michael as being caused by genetic engineering instead of through infection by other vampires. As the series progresses the viewer and Michael are slowly informed of the fact a vampire plot is in place to take over the world and wipe out the human race.
