After a freak accident transforms a college student into a vampire, he discovers that a murderous mayor holds the key to controlling his powers, but their collaboration comes at a cost: if he fails, he dies.

SYNOPSIS:

Nick Harper, a wayward college student, is traveling with his mother Vicki and two best friends, Gary and Devon, to the town of Binghamton to start a new chapter in their lives, when Nick is suddenly and unexpectedly hit by a car. On the brink of death, the mysterious, cocky, and easily irritable driver, Kiernan Vale, offers Nick a chance for survival. Unbeknownst to the group, however, Kiernan is secretly a vampire who is building an army to aid the flamboyant mayor of the city, Anton Markov, in controlling the entire city. The group brings Nick to Miranda, his girlfriend, and Kiernan's sister, at the university, where she helps Nick check in and get settled into his new lifestyle. Things don't go well at first, with Nick accidentally burning his eyes from staring into the sunlight and delivering a severed deer head to Miranda and her roommate, Lily. The situation gets even more heated when Nick's friend Gary becomes jealous of Nick's newfound powers and blames him for leaving their old life behind, when he wasn't ready too. After Miranda saves Gary from nearly getting killed by Nick, Gary storms off and is eventually kidnapped by Anton's secretive assistant, Yelena, as a tactic to lure Nick into his office. Anton's plan succeeds, as Kiernan, Miranda, and Devon storm in and demand that Anton tell them where Gary is. Before handing him over, however, Anton toys with Nick and his powers and offers him a chance to help him bring about his own twisted sense of justice to the city, or else, he'll kill him. Additionally, Anton reveals to the group that Nick's blood type may hold the key to curing Kiernan and Miranda's sick father, Damian, and turning the vampires into his own soldiers of justice. Nick, fearful of losing control, reluctantly accepts Anton's offer, setting the murderous mayor's sick plans into motion.
