Illuminati Castrati
Vampire Luka Markos cruises in an unknown city, seeking men for his harem. This ancient wanderer courts three men: The Twink, The Bear, and The Jock. Encountering each man in different corners of the gay nightlife, Luka first seduces, then brutally emasculates them. This sets the stage for a life-and-death power struggle between the men.
