Glasgow, 1954. Local children are being brutally murdered. The killer remains at large. And the kids at Sinkhill Primary are convinced the one responsible for these terrible crimes is Iron-Tooth Jack, the Gorbals Vampire. A group of kids go to the massive cemetery known as the Necropolis to hunt for the vampire, and 10-year-old Chrissie reluctantly joins their ranks. Her real life is hard enough that she has little time for tall tales of the supernatural. But she will soon experience a horror that will alter the course of her life forever.
