Ivy Tamwood is confused. As a vampire, she must obey the orders of her Vampire Master, Piscari, who created her. She spent six years in college preparing for a career in law enforcement and six months interning with the local Inland Police Department. Ivy needs to quickly rise to a management position, but her boss, Art, stands in the way. Art, as an elder, has his own ideas about how exactly Ivy should climb the career ladder. In the vampire community, incest between newcomers and elders is common for the progressive development of the race. And if Ivy wants to pursue the career she desires, she must submit to incest with Art. Ivy knows what is expected of her, but rejects the customs of her race. She is outraged that incest and bed are used as a tool to manipulate her personal life. She despises Art's power over her, but is determined to find a way to circumvent him. With the help of her friend and partner Kisten, Ivy hatches a dangerous and potentially deadly plan to overthrow Art. Will they succeed?
