- A sarcastic comedy thriller about a vampire who sets out to infect the blood of a hospital and the twenty-something slackers who set out to stop him.
- A man walks into a grocery store and notices another man looking at the red meat in the display case. Man 1 follows man 2, knocks him out, binds his eyes and mouth with duct tape, chains him to the top of his car, drains a quart of his blood into a bottle, drives a stake through his heart, and dumps the body into his trunk.
Meanwhile, Ryan [Greg James] and J.T. [Sean Farley], best friends since grade school, have tickets to see Bladerunner after the closing of the video store where they work. The only problem is that J.T.'s car is in the shop, Ryan doesn't drive, and their driving buddy Mike just broke his leg, so they ask the new guy Alex [Dusan Cechvala] whether he'd be able to give them a lift. No problem...until Alex's radiator begins to overheat and the car stalls. They walk back a few blocks to a gas station, but it's closing and the attendant refuses to sell them any antifreeze. Alex suggests that they might get help from his ex-girlfriend Adia [Tina Kapousis], who lives a few blocks away. While walking there, however, they are attacked by two punks, one of whom stabs Alex in the stomach. As the punk gloats and Ryan and J.T. fear for their lives, Alex suddenly rises up and kills both punks by biting them in the necks. It is thus that Ryan and J.T. discover that Alex is a vampire.
So is Adia. She's also an alcoholic, and she has taken up with a new guy, a vampire named Slain [Jason Bouwer], who works in a blood bank and who brings "dinner" every night. Slain is not there, so Adia loans Slain's car to Alex. While they drive to an open gas station to get antifreeze, the trunk on Slain's car comes loose. Alex stops the car to close it and finds in the trunk a body and an icechest of blood. Worse yet, the stake through the body's heart tells Alex that it belongs to a vampire. Furthermore, the blood in the bottles, all marked by blood type, is vampire blood (Alex can tell by the smell). It appears that the vampire Slain is killing other vampires for their blood. But why?
More important at the moment is the fact that Slain is living with Adia, a vampire vampire-killer living with a vampire, so Alex hurriedly telephones Adia and warns her to get out of the house. Unfortunately, Slain has already come home and, knowing that Adia has loaned out his car, rewards her with a stake through the heart. Alex arrives and tries to revive Adia, but it's too late. As Alex is rifling through Adia's room, looking for information about Slain, he comes upon a list of names -- four vampires, three of whom are dead, and their blood types. Only Marcus Thoel remains.
Assuming that Marcus Thoel is Slain's next target, the boys go looking for him. First stop is the local vamp bar ("Bram Stoker's 'Cheers!'") where Alex visits with Clyde [ Eric Jaan], the gay vampire who turned him. Clyde has not heard of Slain, but he is able to provide Marcus' address. When they arrive at Marcus' house, however, they find that Slain has already been there. Marcus is dead. Even worse, he was tortured before he was staked. Alex concludes that it was Marcus who turned Slain and that this killing was done out of revenge as much as for Marcus' type O blood. Suddenly, it all fits together in Alex's mind. Slain is a new vampire who is in pain because of being turned, so he is collecting blood from vampires in order to contaminate the blood at the blood bank and turn all recipients into vampires so that they can also feel his pain, just like an AIDS victim who goes around giving the virus to others.
After figuring out at which blood bank Slain works, the boys head over. They get there just as Slain is tainting human blood with drops of vampire blood. Big fight in which Alex succeeds in staking Slain. Slain's last words: "Thank you." Since it's only a little after 1 am, the boys head off to the theater. [Original Synopsis by bj_kuehl.]
