Synopsis

The first astronaut in human history was a young, female vampire...

After a massive world war, the earth was split into two big countries; the Federal Republic of Zirnitra in the east, and the United Kingdom of Arnack in the west. Both of these countries were competing fiercely to be the first to dominate space.

In 1960 by the eastern calendar, the leader of the Republic, Gergiev, announced the start of the space program Project "Mechtat" (Dream). This project, if successful, would be the first to send a human into space.

At the same time, Lev Leps, a substitute astronaut candidate, is ordered to work on the secret "Nosferatu Project", experimenting with sending vampires into space before actual humans. Lev is assigned to monitor and train the test subject Irina Luminesk.

Lev and Irina will share many genuine experiences as they aim for the universe.
