Miranda disappears, prompting Siobhan and her lover --- Harvard Professor and fellow mystic Richard Blake --- to travel to the Gulf of Mexico to pursue the mystery surrounding her lost friend. They discover a cult of sun-worshipping Aztec-inspired vampires operating a fabulously successful private resort where the rich and famous journey in secret to experience intense, forbidden raptures. Siobhan, attempting to free Miranda from a dangerous liaison with the hypnotic cult leaders Don Cipriano and Dona Alejandra Rodriguez, instead finds herself drawn into temptations of ecstasy that flow like hot blood.
