In Los Angeles, California, Marya De Grasya , a genetic scientist, witnesses vampires attacking innocent people. Hidden behind a dumpster, she realizes she must use her expertise to stop them. In her lab, she discovers a rare cell that might weaken vampires but needs more time and resources. One night, as the vampires close in on her lab, Marya finalizes her solution, mixing the rare cell with silver nitrate and garlic extract, and exposes it to UV light. A vampire breaks in, but Marya's solution proves effective, making the creature disintegrate. With new hope and the aid of her friend, Dr. Rafael Santiago, Marya continues her quest to create and distribute the solution to save the city.
Together, Marya and Dr. Rafael studied the ingredients and experimented with different combinations. Their teamwork led to the discovery of a more effective formula that not only weakened the vampires but also caused their rapid disintegration. As they continued their experiments, hope gradually returned to their hearts. They knew there was still a fight left, and with their knowledge and dedication, they had a chance to protect the city of Martinez from the vampires.
However, during an experiment, Marya received a call from her boyfriend, Rico. With trembling hands and teary eyes, she heard the words that shattered her heart: "I'm breaking up with you. I got back with my ex-girlfriend." Despite the pain, Marya knew she couldn't let her emotions get the best of her, especially with the looming vampire threat.
Dr. Rafael noticed Marya's distress but didn't press her. They resumed their experiments with renewed determination, knowing the lives of the people of Martinez depended on their success. Just as they were making progress, Marya's high school friend Jey Kim unexpectedly arrived, bringing advanced equipment and expertise from abroad. With Jey Kim's help, they improved the formula even further and celebrated their success.
That night, at a bar, Marya and Jey Kim enjoyed a moment of respite, reminiscing about their high school days and planning for the future. But Marya's intuition warned her of a potential threat from a group of men eyeing them. Following her gut feeling, they quickly left the bar, staying cautious of the dangers lurking around.
As they walked out, Marya felt the chill of the night air, and couldn't help but think the men might be connected to the vampires they were fighting. "Jey, do you think...?" "Yes, Marya. Maybe," Jey replied, reading her thoughts. "We need to be careful. We don't know who our enemies are."
When they were far from the bar, they stopped to talk. "We have to keep fighting, Marya. We can't let fear win," Jey said, holding her friend's hand.
"I know, Jey. But we also need to be cautious," Marya replied, more determined. "We'll go back to the lab and finish what we need to do."
But Marya had left her bag at the table, containing important documents and IDs. "I left my bag. Wait here, I'll be right back." "I'll come with you," Jey insisted, worried for her friend. "Okay, let's go."
Meanwhile, Benedict's vampire friends were egging him on. "If you're not afraid of women, go talk to that beautiful girl," Ashton, one of his friends, said. Benedict swallowed hard at the suggestion.
"What reward will I get?" he asked, nervously excited. Ashton smirked and said, "If you do it, you'll be the next leader of our group in the next raid."
Benedict swallowed again. Being the group's leader was a great honor, but he knew the challenge was daunting. "Okay, I'll do it," he said, trying to muster courage.
As he approached Marya and Jey, his heart pounded. "Hi," Benedict greeted when he reached them. "Can I introduce myself to you lovely ladies?" Marya and Jey exchanged looks of curiosity and concern. "Who are you?" Marya asked, her voice tinged with apprehension.
"I'm Benedict," he replied, forcing a smile. Marya and Jey Kim glanced at each other. Benedict extended his hand to the beautiful woman standing before him.
Marya hesitated, sensing he might be one of the vampires she had seen mercilessly killing innocent people that night. "Please!" Benedict gazed into Marya's eyes, seemingly hypnotizing her.
"Marya? Let's go, we need to leave!" Jey urged, clutching Marya's arm. But Marya showed no emotion, seemingly oblivious to her friend's plea, staring only at Benedict.
"You go to the car, Jey!" "What? Why? Where are you going?" "I think I've found the man who will make me happy." Jey Kim grew more worried about her friend's behavior, suspecting the man had something to do with it. "I'm not leaving you here," Jey Kim insisted, pulling Marya's arm, but Benedict intervened.
"Don't force her if she doesn't want to go with you," he said, his eyes menacing as he stared at Jey Kim. Fearful, Jey Kim let go of Marya's arm and left the bar. In the car, Jey Kim was restless, needing to find a way to save her friend from Benedict. Three vampires were behind her car, ready to attack.
