After moving to the coastal town of Santa Carla, California, brothers Michael and Sam Emerson quickly discover that their new home harbors a dark secret. While their mother, Lucy, settles into her new job, Michael falls for the mysterious Star, who is connected to a dangerous gang of leather-clad bikers led by the enigmatic David (Kiefer Sutherland). Unbeknownst to Michael, these aren’t just rebellious teensโtheyโre vampires.
As Michael is drawn deeper into their world, he begins to undergo a terrifying transformation. Desperate to save him, Sam seeks help from the eccentric Frog Brothers, self-proclaimed vampire hunters, who warn that the only way to break the curse is to destroy the head vampire.
With time running out, the brothers must battle the bloodthirsty gang, uncover the true master of Santa Carlaโs undead, and fight to save Michaelโs soulโbefore heโs lost forever.
