Storyline

In Bucharest, Romania, the orphan Vivian was raised by her aunt after losing her parents ten years ago in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado. Her family belongs to a bloodline of werewolves and Vivian is promised to the leader of the pack, Gabriel. When the American cartoonist Aiden, who is researching werewolves for his publisher for the next edition of his magazine, meets Vivian, they immediately fall in love for each other. However, the evil son of Gabriel and Vivian's cousin Rafe poisons Gabriel about the love of Vivian, forcing her to choose between her bounds with her family and her passion for Aiden.

I've been reading these comments and i just want to say..what has Bucharest to do with the "rainy Hungarian nights"?!?! it's not in Hungary! Apart from that..after reading how everyone who read the book is so disappointed by the movie i became interested in reading the book, it seems to have much better characters and a better story. I've only seen about two movies that followed the book..interview with a vampire and dune. they can't really summarize in an hour and a half a story and complexity of characters that takes hundreds of pages to describe. so..stop expecting to see the book on screen when you go to the movies.
