NANCY MONROE’s mother DENISE just got married — and Nancy has a new stepbrother, VICTOR, a Goth guy who dresses in black, wears lots of sunscreen, apparently talks to his cat, and has the ability to cloud women’s minds. So Nancy is convinced that he’s a vampire — but is she a paranoid wingnut, or is she the only person who sees Victor’s true nature?
A group of teenagers discovers that one of their friends is secretly a vampire, leading to a series of comical and chaotic attempts to stop him from turning them into vampires as well. The film blends typical teen movie tropes with vampire lore for a lighthearted take on the genre.
