Sarah (Naomi McDougall Jones) is a real life, non-supernatural vampire - and that's not meaning she's a lifestyle vampire, she just needs to every now and again drink human blood in order to not be drained of all energy. And that happens on a very legal basis, taking blood from donors who are neither turned nor killed. She lives with two other real life vampires, outspoken Chrissy (Naomi Grossman) and shy muslim Lily (Mahira Kakkar), who see themselves as some kind of church with their home being their place of worship. So obviously Sarah's furious when the IRS wants to audit their church, and the IRS agent in charge, James (Christian Coulson), lets it shine through their status as church will probably be removed and they'll have to pay a fortune in back-taxes. But Sarah also sees something in James, and offers to give him a closer look at the world of vampirism. Now James seems to be a nice enough guy, but he lives a perfectly boring life, and he doesn't even like his job at the IRS, he just does it because he's good at it. Thus, he sees Sarah's offer as a sort of challenge and a welcome adventure, and the vampires' non-conventional lifestyle sure fascinates him, including vampire balls and actual blood drinking. But he also feels drawn to Sarah, and vice versa, and they soon land in bed together. Everything seems to be perfect, but when reviewing Sarah's case, James stumbles upon a technicality that ruins all their chances of receiving tax exemption. And somehow his review gets out of his hands before James can figure out what to do - with the almost natural effect that Sarah breaks up with him. But he's also furious enough to have her revenge ...

If you expect much in terms of horror here, you'll probably be disappointed, as the movie takes vampirism in a whole different direction - and yes, this movie is basically a romantic comedy, just not one that repeats the same tired old genre clichés yet again but that goes a different route, adds touches of colour, even macabre moments, and has a welcomely inclusive message to it. And while the direction finds the right tone for a vampire movie even without any horror mainstays, the leads are like- and relatable and have genuine chemistry, and are supported by a very able ensemble to make this one a fun watch.
