Premise

edit

The film that follows the story of a single father, Aaron (played by James Martinez), who discovers that 12-year-old hemophiliac son, Tate (played by Trevor Stovall), has been infected with a rare blood disease.

As Aaron struggles to find a cure for his son's illness, he starts to notice strange changes in Tate's behavior. He becomes increasingly violent and aggressive, and Aaron begins to suspect that there may be more to his son's illness than he first thought.

As he delves deeper into Tate's condition, Aaron begins to uncover a dark and sinister secret about his family's past. He discovers that his ancestors were part of a secret society that practiced dark magic and used blood as a source of power. Aaron realizes that Tate's illness may be linked to this dark legacy and that he must confront the past in order to save his son's future.

With the help of a vampire named Hemmings (played by Michael Chieffo), Aaron embarks on a dangerous journey to find the truth about his family's past and to save his son's life. Along the way, they encounter a group of vampire hunters who are determined to stop them at all costs.

In a thrilling climax, Aaron and Hemmings confront the leader of the vampire hunters and battle for Tate's life. The film ends with Aaron facing the consequences of his family's dark past and struggling to come to terms with the sacrifices he has made for his son.
