In 1967, a pregnant woman is attacked by a vampire, causing her to go into premature labor. Doctors are able to save her baby, but the woman dies. Thirty years later, the child has become the vampire hunter Blade, who is known as the "Daywalker", a human-vampire hybrid that possesses the supernatural abilities of the vampires without any of their weaknesses, except for the requirement to consume human blood. Blade raids a rave club owned by the vampire Deacon Frost; a badly injured vampire is taken by police to the hospital, where he feeds upon hematologist Karen Jenson and escapes.
