Sextet takes you through six interweaving stories that delve into the supernatural...revolving around beautiful Tawny and her inheritance from a distant European cousin. Are her cousins all vampires? Or are we simply watching a movie within a movie? The plot thickens when Tawny's boyfriend storms off the set and wanders into the night only to be bit by a real vampire.

The answers are in Sextet, the drama that bites and sucks, all at the same time.
