There have been worse missions for Chicago's lone professional wizard, Harry Dresden, than going undercover on an adult film shoot. Avoiding burning monkey poop, for example. or confronting a walking plant monster leaf-to-leaf. However, there's something about his most recent case that worries him more than normal. The producer of the movie feels that he is under a dark entropy curse, but the ladies in his immediate vicinity are the ones dying—in ever more dramatic ways.
Harry is even more upset since he only became engaged in this strange mystery as a favor to his flirty, conceited, and questionably moral vampire friend, Thomas. Thomas is personally involved in the case, which Harry finds difficult to understand until his research takes him directly to the oversexualized vampire family of Thomas. Harry's life will drastically alter when he learns that Thomas' family tree has been concealing a startling truth.
