Renfield aims to negotiate a land deal but instead becomes Dracula’s servant. After Renfield’s death and Dracula’s demise by Van Helsing, Dracula resurrects Renfield to continue as his loyal assistant.
Ninety years later, Renfield retains the superhuman strength and immortality Dracula granted him by consuming insects. Following a near-death encounter with vampire hunters, Dracula and Renfield relocate to New Orleans to recover. There, Renfield stumbles upon a self-help group for individuals in co-dependent relationships. He decides to target the group’s abusive partners, killing them to provide Dracula with guilt-free sustenance.
During a confrontation at a warehouse with stolen drugs, Renfield encounters criminals and an assassin hired by the rival Lobo crime family. After defeating the assassin, Renfield attempts to track down Teddy Lobo, the man who hired him, but fails. Meanwhile, Teddy is arrested by Rebecca Quincy, a dedicated police officer, during a sobriety checkpoint. Later, corrupt officers release Teddy, leading to a confrontation between Rebecca and her sister Kate, an FBI agent.
