In a world teetering on the brink of darkness, a hidden legion of queer slayers defend humanity from vampires and demons. Operating from secret underground training lairs beneath gay bars across the world, these fearless queer fighters train to battle supernatural threats.

As the world turns against them, they face a critical generational choice: continue protecting those who reject them or let the world fall into inevitable evil.
