In 1992, during the Bosnian War, soldiers led by commander Emil Kurjak are tasked with holding a position in the town of Yorvolak when they spot a large group of cadavers, humans dying under mysterious and grizzly circumstances.

The Dampyr now lives as Harlan Draka, a con artist and an alcoholic plagued by his recurring nightmares, who travels the villages performing fake exorcisms with his assistant Yuri, while trying to conceal his actual identity as a vampire hunter of which he was inherited.

Hearing a voice telling him to make his choice, he develops new powers that allow him to resist Gorka's abilities and kills him by strangling him with his blood-stained hands.

Draka, visiting the grave of Velma, Harlan's mother, speaks of his son and is then joined by the three witches, who tell him that the Dampyr has made his choice.
