The vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend) wakes up from a long sleep. He is unwilling to go into darkness, so he exposes himself to the public and becomes a rock singer. In an accident, Lestat saves librarian Jesse Reeves (Marguerite Moreau), and his identity is discovered by Jesse. Lestat uses his singing to awaken the legendary vampire queen Akasha (Aaliyah), who has been sleeping for a thousand years. Akasha and Lestat start a revenge plan against the old enemy, but he did not expect that Akasha's ultimate goal is to turn the world into purgatory with him and rule all mankind. At the same time, Jesse also falls in love with Lestat. What will Lestat choose? Like "Interview with the Vampire", this film is adapted from Anne Rice's best-selling series of novels - "Vampire Chronicles".
