Synopsis
Two-time Academy Award nominee® Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a
researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed
the world's population into vampires.
As a result of the plague the human population is now almost extinct.
Faced with a chronic shortage of human blood, vampires must capture and
farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs
out.
It’s all up to Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out – until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race.
