<P> Four vampires -- Viago , Vladislav , Deacon , and Petyr -- share a flat in the Wellington suburb of Te Aro . Although Viago , Vladislav , and Deacon are all several centuries old , they have retained normal human appearances , but the 8,000 - year - old Petyr resembles Count Orlok and acts more savagely than the younger vampires . Each night , Viago , Vladislav , and Deacon prowl the streets of Wellington searching for people to kill , but they must stay in the flat during the day to avoid sunlight -- which is lethal to vampires -- therefore they have not adapted to 21st - century life . Deacon has a human servant ( familiar ) -- Jackie -- who runs errands for the vampires , but she is frustrated that Deacon will not turn her into a vampire . Jackie leads her ex-boyfriend Nick to the vampire 's flat so they can drink his blood : he escapes before they can kill him , but as he leaves the flat , Petyr attacks him and later turns Nick into a vampire . </P>
