"It's all just cruelty, for cruelty's sake."

As his rock band's tour kickoff approaches, Raiden struggles with Gabriel's growing resistance to his teaching methods. The ongoing battle of wills between mentor and protg unearths dysfunctional dynamics beneath the vampires' collaborative efforts. When an exercise in corpse disposal goes awry, their festering sexual tension comes to a head.

Elsewhere, a ghost from Raiden's past resurfaces-with an unlikely assistant in tow. Through repetitive and methodical grooming, this jovial phantom convinces his undead bride to help actualize a clever revenge concept designed for the sole purpose of initiating Raiden's downfall.
