J.S. Cardone crafts his own history of the vampire legend in this teen horror outing that takes place primarily in desert locations, à la
Near Dark (1987) and
Vampires (1998). Sean (
Kerr Smith) is traveling across the desert to attend his sister's wedding when he picks up an unusual hitchhiker, Nick (
Brendan Fehr). A vampire hunter, Nick soon has Sean embroiled in a battle between himself and a band of the undead creatures led by Kit (
Johnathon Schaech). Caught in the middle of the supernatural shenanigans with Sean is Megan (
Izabella Miko), who had been nearly turned into a vampire herself by Kit and his followers. Sean and Megan develop a romantic attachment, which encounters a further obstacle when Sean is infected with the vampire virus; only Kit's death can prevent Sean from permanently becoming one of the nosferatu.
