Zo is flung into the inconceivably distant future where he finds himself in the creepiest small town that he's ever found himself in. The town is stalked by demons and mutants and folks who live here have to be on their guard as they move about. A rancher named Doris finds out that there's more to worry about than common giant slugs and werewolves, because, as Zo had heard it, she's been confronted by a Noble. A Noble is what people in this distant time period sometimes call a vampire, and this particular Noble happens to be over 10,000 years old. It's good for Doris, then, that a mysterious stranger named D had come to town. A Vampire Hunter of extraordinary skill named D.
