Synopsis
In Midnight, Texas, the residents like to keep to themselves, so bad publicity is the last thing anyone wants. The psychic Manfred Bernardo is plunged into scandal and hounded by the press when one of his regular clients dies during a reading at a hotel in Dallas. Searching for a way out, he turns to Olivia Charity, the town’s most enigmatic resident, who lives with the vampire Lemuel and whose work no one knows anything about, except that she is beautiful and dangerous. Manfred senses that she can make things right again, but helping him will draw unwelcome attention to Olivia and to the secretive town itself.
