A hospital bed might seem like a nice, safe place for an injured man to be, but not if he's Cal McDonald. As if it weren't bad enough that Cal was hospitalized after being on the receiving end of an extreme case of police brutality -- now he's enduring an even more surreal horror, one known commonly to drug addicts as "withdrawal." Cal's body may be healing but the nightmare visions the withdrawal brings threaten to tear what remains of his sanity to shreds. And when Cal finally does make it to the other side of this ordeal, he wakes up only to discover that the world's deepest, oldest evil -- the vampire Nosferatu -- came calling and took Cal's ex Sabrina with him!
