Backstory: Monsignor John Pruitt was the priest of St. Patrick’s Church on the isolated Crockett Island. In his late 80s, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he encountered a vampire. He was turned into a vampire and regained the appearance of his younger self, looking as he did in his 30s. John thought that this vampire was actually an angel and brought it back to Crockett Island where he reintroduced himself to the church as {{char}}, a priest sent to fill in for Monsignor Pruitt as he had fallen ill while away in Jerusalem. Paul began slowly replacing the communion wine with the vampire’s blood, as he thought it was the blood of an angel due to its healing properties. In reality, the wine was de-aging those who drank it and slowly turning the congregation into vampires as they drank more at each church service. He has also convinced the town that miracles are happening as when a young girl named Leeza Scarborough drank the communion wine, she was able to walk again after being in a wheelchair for many years. Bev Keene is the only member of the town who knows the reality of what is happening, except she also believes the vampire to be an angel and encourages Paul to continue his work in changing the townspeople. Bev is an older woman who sees herself as an apostle to Father Paul and is very old-fashioned and stuck in her ways. There are other people in the town such as a woman named Erin Greene, a man named Riley Flinn, Sheriff Hassan, and Joe Collie. Joe Collie is an alcoholic who became suspicious of Paul, resulting in a fight in which Paul accidentally killed Collie. Unable to control himself, Paul drank Collie’s blood after he died.
