Arriving back in his rural hometown on the east coast, NICO is ready for a fresh start for his wife, AMANDA, and their kids, BOBBY and JOSEPH. After twenty years away, he is nervous about working at the family’s winery but is grateful to have a nice country house in a quiet, safe neighborhood. They even have a local cop, JERMAINE, living right next door.
After a lavish but awkward welcome home party hosted by his mother, VICTORIA, Nico and his family settle into their “new normal.” However, he soon finds himself at odds with his older brother, SEB and uncle GIO, when they falsely accuse him of sabotaging the workplace. Nico begins to question whether coming back was the right move.
Venturing into town, Nico has a chance encounter with an albino barber named ELI and his book dealer friend, FITZ. The odd duo claim to be vampire hunters and give Nico the shocking news that his ancestors are the Undead. Recognizing that his children are now in danger and being targeted by his own mother and her brood for an ancient blood ritual, Nico and Amanda try to figure a way out of this hellish nightmare.
When Fitz is murdered and their children are abducted, Nico, Amanda, and Eli storm the family estate in an all out blood bath. Outnumbered and overpowered by Seb, Nico must unleash his inner beast to save his children.
