Recently returned from her honeymoon, Betsy's life is slowly returning to what could be considered normal. The house is still full of her much-loved roommates, but things start to go downhill when a new tenant shows up: her much- hated, thankfully departed step-monster, The Ant, has decided to haunt her. Not only that, but the Ant refuses to tell Betsy what she wants from her. The situation quickly escalates from bad to worse when the household is attacked by the Fiends, a group of rogue vampires who have slowly regained their senses and now blame Betsy for their downfall. The hunt is on for the unholy group before they can do further damage to Betsy or mankind.

When Jessica's boyfriend, Nick, asks Betsy and Sinclair for their assistance in solving some unusual murders and assaults around town, they fear the recent attacks might be related to their Fiends. As their investigation continues, clues point to the mastermind behind the attacks as someone closer than any of them realize.
