Louis de Pointe’s (Jacob Anderson) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat De Lioncourt’s (Sam Reid) offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
