The Vanquishers are back, this time with new junior members, and are ready to defend their town against the undead! Malika 'Boog' Wilson and her best friends Cedrick, Jules, and Aaron - aka the Squad - always stick together. Now that vampires have returned, they'll need to take their Vanquisher lessons more seriously than ever. But who is behind this return of the undead? When strange disappearances begin across their community and the Department of Vampire Affairs warns Boog's mum to keep quiet about vampires returning, it looks like uncovering the truth won't be so easy. The Squad is eager to take on the undead, but will they be able to convince their parents they are ready to fight alongside the Vanquishers?
