The Story
Something strange is going on behind the doors of Raven Advertising...
Ambitious new employee Alice Blue wants to impress roguishly handsome Creative Director Stephen. To do it, she has set her sights on signing an elusive client, Nether Wines. However, the agency has other plans for her.
Reluctantly Alice befriends a group of co-workers who call themselves “The Resistance” led by paranoid conspiracy theorist Peter. He is convinced Alice is the key to unravelling the mystery of Raven. With the help of The Resistance, Alice discovers ancient secrets about her job and herself. But in the end, despite the powerful forces allied against her, Alice will abide by nobody’s rules but her own.
The Boss
Sherry is the owner of Raven Advertising and Mary’s sister. Once William’s lover, she is a result of his early experiments and was turned by him, resulting in her being a very powerful vampire. She seeks to continue William’s work in her own way -- by infecting bottles of wine with scientifically concocted vampire blood and marketing it to the world, thereby creating a pool of humans who can easily be turned and whom she can use for her own power-hungry ends. She recognizes the potential in Alice and wishes to use her, and her blood, to further her plan.
The Creative Director
Stephen is a vampire of indeterminate age who works as Sherry’s lieutenant. Debonair and charming as much as he is deadly, he holds Alice enthralled.
The Copy Room Guy
Peter Green, conspiracy theorist extraordinaire, has thought of every explanation for the mysteries of Raven, except the right one. Part Mad Scientist, he conducts experiments on employees to determine why they are so listless. He stumbles upon an important clue when he contacts Julian. He instinctively knows Alice can help him solve... whatever.
The Vampyre
Julian is an extremely powerful vampire, legendary for being the strong arm of an ancient vampire society. He investigates infractions of the society’s rules and enforces compliance. And the society is concerned about Alice, and alarmed by Sherry’s plan. Julian knew William, and knows of his legacy. He wishes to bring Alice into the fold of the society.
