The premise

Antoine is a social wannabe who drops an elusive aristocrat's name to get into an exclusive party. The name - Jordan - gets him whisked by two burly bodyguards into the office of the host, von Bulow, who won't accept Antoine's admission of lying, gives him $100,000, and promises $900,000 more when led to Jordan. Enticed by the money, Antoine, with the help of his friend Étienne, begins his search. He follows trails through Paris's night scene, gets beaten up and bitten, and meets Jordan's sister, Violaine. After a surreal night, he's hooked on her charms but leery of continuing his pursuit of Jordan. Von Bulow insists. Can he find Jordan, get his reward, and attract Violaine?

Horror Vault's take

A hapless Parisian social climber bluffs his way into an exclusive party and unwittingly entangles himself in a shadowy, high-stakes hunt through the city's nocturnal underworld. Lured by a staggering cash reward, he chases a mysterious figure named Jordan through increasingly surreal and dangerous encounters — only to become bewitched by Jordan's enigmatic sister. Equal parts erotic thriller and vampire noir, this French production wraps its bloodlust in designer clothes and Parisian chic.
