Finian the Vampire and his mysterious horse Izzy travel across the Wild West to seek justice for a town whose people were slaughtered by creatures from ages past. While on the hunt, Finian discovers that there is a much darker mystical force lurking in the shadows. If left unchecked, this evil could see humanity threatened.

High Moon follows  Finian the vampire and his mysterious horse Izzy on a journey across the Wild West. It begins with Finian following Tommy "Two-toothed" Talisker, a bounty through the deserts of New Mexico. After capturing Tommy, the three are attacked in the desert. The random assault peaks Finian's interest in Tommy. After they return to Jamesonville, a small town that Finian declares as home, it becomes clear that an evil from Finian's past is after Talisker. Later the town is assaulted and destroyed by magical and mythical creatures. In an attempt to see justice done to those killed in the town, Finian heads after them. As he does, he is attacked in the desert by a new powerful foe. The assault leaves Finian near death and his mighty steed Izzy stolen. Only with the help of some locals does Finian survive and learn that Salt City is where he must go to see this new evil serve justice for the slaughter of Jamesonville and the wickedness forced on the people of Salt City; more importantly though, he would fight to see the return of Izzy.
