With this knowledge comes the realization that there are good and evil among the vampire nation. After witnessing a horrific death at the hands of a vampire, it becomes his own personal mission to police the rogue entities and stop them from harming humans.
He is recruited into Operation Underworld, an organization where their sole purpose is to hunt the criminal entities of paranormal species. His first assignment is to find out why humans are going missing from nightclubs in Los Angeles.
When he meets the beautiful Sami Karim, he discovers they are working on the same missing persons case. As his attraction to her grows, he can’t shake the feeling that she’s hiding many secrets, as well as lying to him.

Enter former US Marine Joe Smith (Supernatural Renegades) who offers Connor a chance to join the organization known as Operation Underworld. What ensues is Connor’s first assignment to find out why humans have gone missing from the nightclubs in LA, and his introduction to Sami Karim, a woman also searching for clues into the missing humans but a woman whose lies and betrayal are not easily forgiven by our story line hero.
