In the current time period, Rio is the vampiric propreiter of the motel portion of Mommas, a locally owned truck stop which acts as a safe haven for transient youth, fledgling vampires, and any other down on their luck members of their kind. In the past, Rio was a starry eyed rodeo boy from Texas, following his dreams to Hollywood in the hopes of bringing a little bit more color and authenticity to the Western pictures. He met his tragic end in the summer of 1957 and since then has made an oath to himself to hunt down any and all vampires who take advantage of humans and to find the man who took his life and deal him a final death.A recent run in with another vampire on the tail of the same target has earned him a rather prickly partner in crime, who (begrdugingly) joins him on a very unconventional and very fun, investigative roadtrip.
