Hunter (Jason Kellerman) has once not too long ago been a popular prize
fighter, and one of the best, too - but then something happened that threw
his life completely off the track, and now he's a vagabond wandering the
icey streets of Chicago, scrambling for coins from passers-by. And on a
particularly cold night, he tries to find abode in a homeless shelter -
but social worker and therapist Danni (Rachel Cerda) refuses to make it
that easy for him and insists on him undergoing therapy with the aim of
rehabilitation - something Hunter absolutely hates in the beginning, but
eventually he opens up to her - and eventually, too, he tells Danni his
biggest secret that threw him of the path: His mother (Lynda Shadrake) and
sister (Leah Uteg) fell victim to a home invasion and were killed before
his very eyes. And while he tried to stop things at first, as soon as the
home invaders showed their fangs (!) he hightailed it. Now he knows how
crazy this sounds, but with the help of Danni, whom he soon enough also
becomes romantically involved with, he gradually finds back to the right
track. There's only one problem, the vampires Hunter thinks he might only
have fantasized about are actually real, and as much as Hunter tries to
stay away from the story at first, he crosses paths with apprentice
vampire Luke (Ryan Heindl) a few times too often, so much so that he gets
ready for a fight which he thinks he has chances to win. But then the
vampires kidnap Danni ...
A very interesting vampire movie that's pretty much devoid of
clichés and instead plays more like a mystery blended with character
study, all told in a somewhat confusing way - which really makes the movie
all the better, as this way the audience isn't spoon-fed the story, and
even the not-too surprise twist that leads to the third act comes more
unexpected this way. Plus, the action in this movie is really adrenaline
pumping while the script is largely without any slow (as in boring)
scenes. Quite a ride, really.
