Before Dracula. Before Nosferatu. There was...Carmilla. Set in 1996, the Year of the Rat, an idealistic Chinese American social worker turns detective when she discovers young, homeless LGBTQ+ women are being murdered, and no one-especially the police seems to care. A series of clues points her to Carmilla's, a mysterious nightclub in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown. There she falls for the next likely target, landing her at the center of a real-life horror story-and face-to-face with questions about herself, her life... and fateful family secrets. Inspired by the gothic novel that started the genre.
