Plot
In Armação dos Anjos, a fictional town on the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, retired captain Jonas Rocha, a widower with six children, marries historian Carmem Maura, also a widow with six children. They will have unprecedented problems, in addition to those common to a large family, when contacting the vampires that plague the city with the arrival of the famous singer Natasha, for the recording of a video.

Natasha, a rock singer, sold her soul to the terrible Count Vladymir Polanski, head of the vampires, to shine in her career, becoming a vampire herself. But he discovers that in past incarnations she was Eugenia, her love, who preferred to stay with Rocha, the other life of Captain Jonas. The count then proceeds to pursue Natasha and the captain's family, including using his powers to involve Carmen Maura.

Natasha, in turn, wants to destroy Vlad to get rid of her curse. The only weapon she has for this is the Cross of san Sebastian, which is hidden somewhere in Armação dos Anjos. The cross must be wielded by a man named Rock. The hero is therefore Captain Jonas.

The bandit Jurandir is also in Armação dos Anjos, fleeing from Big Dog, a leader of criminals that Jurandir assaulted by mistake. In town, he hides in the robes of a priest, befriends the kids and is nicknamed "Father Boy". The cassock, however, is no hindrance to his crazy love affair with Marina, Big Dog's protégé
