Sissy St. Hilaire wakes up in Vermont to learn that her millionaire husband, George, is in a coma after a car accident. George recovers, but he is not the same - he is kinder, smarter, and stunningly serene. George has always been an atheist, a heel, and fervently materialistic; now he is ecstatically spiritual, ignoring money and his business concerns. When George announces he is abandoning his company and family to become a Catholic priest, Sissy insists that he commit himself for observation. At the mental hospital, Sissy, a serial adulteress, meets young Father O'Toole, a man with a crisis of faith and a roving eye. Sissy realizes she is attracted to O'Toole, who promises to try and help her with her husband's situation.

As Jack digs to the heart of the issue he finds a conspiracy that reaches beyond humanity's national borders and risks a vampiric war that could spill over into the human world killing millions.
