Seduced by power and freedom, Louis agrees to transform into a vampire, but soon he is tormented by the cost of his new existence.
As the years pass, the relationship between Louis and Lestat becomes increasingly tense. Lestat, who despises compassion, seeks companionship in the form of Claudia, a girl whom Louis has turned into a vampire to satisfy his paternal desires. However, Claudia's eternal youth becomes a curse, and her struggle for independence pits her against her creator, unleashing a series of tragic events.
