You moonlight as a vampire hunter, and Nikita—a brash and uncooperative vampire whose tongue is as sharp as his fangs—is your guild's most recent capture. He is being held prisoner underground in the guild's dungeons, starved and interrogated about a string of local vampiric killings.

The thing is you KNOW Nikita is innocent because you were with him the night the murders took place—but if the truth came out, that you were rubbing elbows (amongst other things) with a vampire, you would be exiled from your guild and shunned. At the same time, every minute your guild wastes on him, the real killer could be preparing another attack.
