Company description::
Abington, PA -- TWILIGHT HEALER centers on Leslie Taite, a respiratory therapist with a learning disability who is haunted by her mother's suicide. After being chastised for a deadly mistake, Leslie leaves the hospital where she works only to be involved in a terrible car accident the next day. A painful recuperation follows, in which Leslie must deal not only with angry coworkers, but also with her father's failing health and news of a series of disturbing murders near the hospital.
Her only friend, Alex, hides a dark secret -- he is a century-old vampire. After an argument with her family, Leslie flees to nearby woods. In the darkness of the trees, Leslie faces a woman who could be her twin. This woman, Drusilla, explains that Adria is the vampire world, an alternate dimension to the real world. Each human has an identical counterpart in this alternate world. Looking to escape the wrath of Hades, ruler of Adria, vampires have spilled into Leslie's world feeding off humans. The evil god of Adria is plotting the destruction of all vampires.
Deceit and horror soon follow as Leslie is tortured and left for dead. To save her, Alex does the only thing he can do -- make Leslie a vampire, as well. Overwhelmed by her new freedom, Leslie takes matters into her own hands. She is forced to confront Hades to save her and Alex, but will Hades listen?
