Their existence depends on stealing a precious fluid humans need to stay alive: for vampires, it’s blood; for the aliens, it’s water.
But if the aliens succeed in draining the Earth’s oceans, all humans and animals on the planet will perish — taking with them the sole source
of blood the vampires require to survive. Now the vampires must wage a secret war against the invaders while keeping hidden their own existence
from the humans, just as the aliens don’t wish humanity to learn of their invasion already underway.
A moonlit night, a young couple strolling hand-in-hand along a deserted country road. The perfect date night... until he leans over to kiss her and instead sinks his fangs into her throat. The vampire drains his prey, sating his hunger, and releases the lifeless corpse. He wipes the blood from his lips, content to leave her body in the field to be found in the morning by the humans. He's momentarily blinded by a harsh light from above. He feels a vibration around him, a powerful wind, and a tremor in the ground. He opens his eyes and sees a spaceship has landed.
The aliens notice the vampire. They're confused because their sensors indicated there were no life forms in the area. But their sensors are calibrated for humans and other life forms... Not the undead.
The vampire learns the aliens are setting up plants in coastal areas to steal the Earth's water, a scarce but necessary resource they need to survive. Escaping from the aliens, he warns other vampires of their arrival and plans which, if carried to fruition, would doom the human race... And with no humans or other life left on Earth, the planet's furtive vampire population would be deprived of its sole food source.
Now the vampires must wage a secret war against the invaders while hiding their own existence from the humans, just as the aliens don't wish for the humans to learn of their invasion that is already underway.
