A stylish 1960s-set vampire noir that uses the vampire-human divide as an allegory for racial segregation, blending action, theology, and genre subversion.

The vampire myth is given a stylish 1960s treatment, where a human cop partners with a vampire cop to stop a vamp bent on creating a war between the two "separate but equal" races.
