Summary:	LA artist Theresa (Stacey Travis) has fallen under the sensual spell of darkly handsome Vlad (Christopher Atkins). Since their first enigmatic meeting, she has been troubled by sexually tinged nightmares involving the mysterious stranger, and she cannot shake the idea that they have met before. Later, while on assignment in Eastern Europe restoring a macabre Gothic monastery named "The Church of Lost Souls", Theresa encounters Vlad again, incurring the ire of her Mephistophelean employer Alec (Doug Wert) and leading Theresa to believe that there is also a strange bond between the two men. As her dreams and visions become more disturbing and detailed, she discovers that they are intimations of a former life in which Vlad and Alec were bitter rivals for her affection, a love which led to her death. With the aid of Vlad's vampire father (Zahari Vatahov), the pair became vampires themselves in order to while away the centuries before her soul could return, which leads to the inevitable climactic confrontation between the two powerful foes in modern times.
