"...the lackey of 'Count Dracula', 'R. M. Renfield' finds a new lease on life in modern-day New Orleans...


"...when he falls in love with 'Rebecca Quincy', a traffic cop...


"...and decides to finally stand up to his creator...


 "...in hopes of finally breaking free of his servitude...


"in Stoker's original story 'R.M. Renfield' is a resident patient in the asylum of 'Dr. John Seward', and is the only patient, diagnosed as a 'zoophagous maniac' or carnivorous madman, ingesting insects and spiders, believing their life-force will prolong his years. 


"When subdued he shows the strength of a tiger, more a wild beast than human. He is also quite crafty and displays a superior intellect when he is not in a melancholy state or a fit of rage.


"In the end 'Dracula' kills Renfield for his 'betrayal'..."
