A dark, melancholic descent into addiction and isolation, using vampire mythology as a metaphor for destructive desire and the AIDS crisis.

It's autumn in New York. Sam has broken up with his girlfriend and his father has recently died. World-weary and sloppy drunk, he finds temporary solace in the arms of Anna, a mysterious vampire who draws him away from his friends and into a web of addiction and madness.
