Plot
- A pandemic disease has turned most of the world's human population into vampires. As human numbers dwindle, the need for blood becomes desperate. When deprived of blood for extended periods, vampires degenerate into subsiders: aggressive bat-like creatures.
- A covert group of humans led by Audrey rescues and hides humans from vampire patrols while they attempt to win allies amongst the vampires
- They meet Elvis, a man cured of vampirism by brief exposure to sunlight while being thrown into water.
- Edward, Elvis, and Audrey meet with Chris and ask him to help spread the cure.
- Chris has finally discovered a viable blood substitute and does not want a cure to become widespread. He calls in a vampire patrol which captures Audrey while Elvis and Edward escape into hiding.
- Edward turns himself in and goads Charles into attacking him. Edward uses the now-cured Charles to cure a group of soldiers experiencing the beginning of subsider aggression.
- They are confronted by Chris, who kills the few cured soldiers to hide the evidence of the cure. Elvis arrives and rescues Edward and Audrey by killing Chris. The three survivors then drive away into the sunrise with a voice-over by Edward stating that they have a cure and can change others back.
