Summary
On Christmas Eve in New Orleans, Louis begs Lestat not to leave for Paris. Lestat chooses ambition over love, promising distance won’t change anything—but it does.
Lestat’s career explodes overseas, then in New York. Fame demands he appear single, desirable, unattached. Photos, interviews, and carefully crafted images erase Louis from the narrative. What begins as sacrifice turns into neglect, then silence. They don’t break up in a fight—they simply stop reaching.
Years later, Lestat has everything: money, power, admiration, a life of excess. And yet something is missing. Beneath the success is the quiet ache of the man he loved and left behind—the life he might have had.
On Christmas Eve again, fate intervenes. Lestat is forced to confront an alternate version of himself—one where he stayed, where love mattered more than legacy, where Louis and a family replaced fame.
