The game opens with a child named Lara being pushed out the door by her mother, who is trying to get them both away from Lara's father — who has turned into a vampire and means to kill them. He catches up. Lara's mother dies. Before he can finish the job, a man named Vince Neras arrives with skeleton servants and stops him. Lara, with nowhere else to go, joins Vince in his ongoing fight against the human crusade that has been hunting vampires. She has two things she needs to find: her father, wherever he has gone, and her mother's body, which has disappeared.
