The premise

Maxx and his girlfriend Lisa are a pair of recovering drug addicts whom are recruited by a clan of sex & violence crazed vampires led by the egotistical and charismatic Darius. But to become members, Maxx and Lisa have to give up their humanity and become vampires themselves. As Maxx and Lisa adopt to their new lifestyle of immortality with all the advantages and disadvantages, their addiction to drugs now turns to addiction to human blood and each new 'fix' leads them deeper into debauchery. Will these two rookie vampires find salvation, or be damned to all eternity of their latest thirst for blood?

Horror Vault's take

When a couple battling drug addiction falls into the orbit of a seductive vampire clan, their hard-won sobriety is traded for something far more dangerous and eternal. Led by a magnetic, ruthless figurehead, the clan promises power and immortality but demands an irreversible price. The film draws a sharp, unflinching parallel between the compulsive pull of narcotics and the hunger for blood, trapping its protagonists in a spiral of violence and desire. Whether there is any road back from such damnation is the dark question at the film's heart.
