Synopsis:
Sadie Blake (Liu) is a tenacious reporter who stumbles upon a dark underground cult that is attracting the young Los Angeles in-crowd. Lured by the promise of wild parties, these hipsters start turning up dead, and when Sadie tries to get to the bottom of their grisly murders, she falls prey to the mastermind behind all the gruesome murders. She awakens in a morgue, neither dead nor alive, a vampire, consumed by an overwhelming craving for blood.
Trying desperately to fight off her thirst, Sadie prowls the dark city streets, armed with a crossbow and hell-bent on slaying the horrific vampires and their ring leader when she finds an unlikely ally in Detective Clyde Rawlins (Chiklis), a police investigator distraught over the loss of his only daughter to the cult. He crosses paths with Sadie in his investigation, and the two are unstoppable until they’ve exacted their revenge.
