Thom, an investigative journalist, meets with a strange man who tells him that The Lair, a notorious sex club, is linked to a string of unsolved murders that have been plaguing his small city for years. When Tom's jealous boyfriend, Jonathan, also gets caught up in The Lair, things get personal.

Jonathan’s body has been found face-down in the river bank, but unlike the others he has somehow survived. While Jonathan lies comatose in a hospital bed, Damian-an ancient vampire and the leader of The Lair-speaks of finishing him off for good. Thom, unaware of the scheming vampires in his midst, pays his unconscious boyfriend a visit.

Eric rejoins the boys at The Lair, where Damian initiates him into "the inner sanctum" of fellow hunks risen from the dead. Thom visits The Lair soon after, searching for information about his comatose boyfriend. Damian responds by placing Thom in a near-fatal trance, but Laura saves him just in time. They approach Trout and Belmont for clues, but encounter only more questions. Meanwhile, Damian is coming for Jonathan once more.

Thom encounters Damian in Jonathan's hospital room, instantly reminding Damian of Richard Devere, the man who painted his portrait two centuries ago, the only man he's ever loved. Devere was a vampire who gave Damian immortality and the capacity for evil; Damian in return drove a stake through his heart. He believes Thom to be Devere reincarnated, and Colin takes advantage of Damian’s infatuation to finally gain control of The Lair.

When Laura comes to after the incident with the knife, Sheriff Trout is forced to reconsider what he knows to be true about the island. He and Jonathan revisit The Lair to find Colin in charge, but what has happened to Damian? Thom is mysteriously released from his prison and is reunited with Jonathan. However, the bittersweet scene grows simply bitter when Thom learns that Jonathan is harboring a secret.
