In the vibrant, rain-soaked streets of 1984 New Orleans, pirate radio DJ Dre Baptiste and his aunt Bernadine, a resolute mortician, discover a chilling truth: the charismatic Everett Saint and his popular nightclub are a front for a growing vampire nest. When bodies drained of blood begin appearing at the funeral home and the local police force is compromised by corruption, the Baptiste family must assemble an unlikely resistance. Joined by a nurse and a defiant detective, they use ancient lore and modern technology to protect their neighborhood from a supernatural predator who offers seductive deals to the desperate. As the line between the living and the undead blurs, the community must face the agonizing pain of grief and betrayal to survive. This atmospheric urban gothic explores the resilience of a community under siege, blending high-stakes horror with a poignant coming-of-age journey amidst the shadows of the French Quarter.
