A dark, action-driven vampire dystopia that uses genre spectacle to explore survival, resource scarcity, and the possibility of redemption amid systemic collapse.

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed almost every human into a vampire. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vampires on a way to save humankind.
