A spirited coming-of-age vampire thriller that uses monster-hunting as a metaphor for teenage self-discovery and empowerment, balancing horror action with genuine warmth and humor.

A teenage girl with self-esteem issues finds confidence in the most unlikely way, by spending her summer battling vampires that prey on New Orleans' disenfranchised with the help of her best friend, the boy she's always pined for, and a peculiar rich girl.
