Anthropologist/filmmaker Joe Weber is called back from the Amazon urgently, only to find that it is his ex-wife who drops the unwanted charge of their son Jeremy upon him. Joe decides to take Jeremy away to the house he has inherited from his aunt in the small town of Jerusalem’s Lot in Maine. But after moving in, they find that the town is inhabited by vampires. Joe is befriended by the town leader Judge Axel. Axel explains how the vampires came over at the time of the Pilgrims and decided to lead a life in secrecy here. He now wants Joe to write their history for them. At the same time Jeremy is seduced away by a vampire girl who looks his own age and soon decides that he wants to join the vampire society. Joe also meets Kathy, a girl from his teens who is now a vampire, and sleeps with her, only for her to become pregnant. As Joe tries to stop Jeremy being wooed over, he is joined by the vampire hunter Vanmeer.
