A tense vampire-infection thriller built around a race-against-time premise, with homoerotic undertones and a road-movie structure that balances body-horror dread with interpersonal connection.

A young man is in a race against time as he searches for a cure after becoming infected with a virus that will eventually turn him into a blood-sucking vampire.
