In 18th-century Louisiana, wealthy landowner Louis is transformed into a vampire by the ancient, charismatic, and decadent Lestat. Afterward, however, Louis is hesitant to embrace Lestat's cavalier blood lust and disregard for human life. Their bond is further tested when Louis adopts and turns an orphaned child, Claudia.
