Storyline

Julian Luna, prince of several disparate vampire, or kindred, clans in San Francisco, has his job cut out for him as he must try to keep a tenuous peace among them while not being afraid to apply ruthless justice against those who would break kindred rules. Infractions that merit "final death" include the taking of human life and changing humans into vampires who have not volunteered for the transformation.

User Reviews

I miss this show...

I remember being a senior in High School when this came on. I was just getting into Vampire: The Masquerade with some friends and when this came on I was excited.

Despite what some of the role-play fanatics (who didn't look into the level of acting talent and depth of storylines in this series) say this was a very cool show, but sadly back then FOX was axe-ing all the interesting cool shows to make room for their "over the hill lord only knows why this was a hit" 90210 which featured people in their 20's as high school students.

But I digress, if you find tapes of this somewhere, watch and enjoy!
