He works as a paramedic during the graveyard shift and has trouble paying his rent for his apartment. For Jack, lacking an active social life or optimistic future, nothing seems to be going well. One day, however, Jack meets Danika (Cox) in an alleyway, bruised and bloody. On her neck are bite marks, though he initially disregards them. Finding the only women he can truly socialize with, Jack quickly falls in love with Danika. Soon, however, he realizes she is not what she seems: she is truly a vampire.
