THE SLAVE WHO LOVED CAVIAR

Description:

A satirical investigation of “blackploitation”

Detective Mary Van Helsing follows a curious trail of bodily fluids and blood in discovering the vampire, Baron DeWhit, who has been draining the talent of young vibrant artists to keep his aging career alive. Now the Baron has set his sights on a gifted young, Black, graffiti street artist YoungBlood. Is YoungBlood reinvigorated in the presence of the Baron? Or does the Baron’s fame, money, and power seduce his young victims to drain their life force while everyone turns a blind eye?  It was too late for Detective Van Helsing to save the now famous Jean Michel-Basquiat and other artists from this same fate. Can she save Youngblood?
