Hulda's mother, who washes down pills with blue Smirnoff in the morning, also believes Hulda killed Steinda. After being released from custody due to insufficient evidence, Hulda has nowhere to go and wanders aimlessly until she encounters Hjörtur, an ancient gay vampire who admits to being lonely.
