Build a movie plot around this: How many years has it been since a Brother was born? 300 years ago
NOTE: Perfect Creature is set on an alternate world "not unlike our own," but the technology and settings make it look like something from the 1940s with some 18th century Dickens tossed in. The vampires are long-lived, fanged, drink only donated human blood, and call themselves "the Brotherhood."

Whenever a Brother is born, he is immediately whisked away to be brought up in the Church. There are no female vampires.Prologue: Eight-year old Silas is introduced to his newborn baby brother who is crying his head off.

Having lost both her husband and young daughter to influenza, Lilly is especially adamant about tracking down and arresting those who would endanger the public's health. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood has also got a problem. After 100 years of working for the good of humans, including developing the influenza vaccine, Brother Edgar (Leo Gregory) suddenly went crazy three weeks ago and began feeding from and killing humans, something the Brotherhood hasn't done in 300 years. So far, Edgar has claimed three victims, and Brother Silas (Dougray Scott) has been asked by the Church to find him...
