Sypnosis
Meet Mac , the Blood Dealer Caught in a Deadly Game of Survival.
Returning from a lengthy military deployment, Mac hopes to resume his life, but his girlfriend Shanna's distant behaviour raises suspicions. These suspicions are confirmed when Mac discovers Shanna in the company of another man, The Count, leader of a militant vampire faction.
This unexpected encounter leads Mac down a dark path as he is thrust into the Count's world, where he must make a fateful decision: either work for the Count and declare that he is "Down for the Count" or face dire consequences.
" They don’t want to kill but need blood to survive. "
Forced into the grim trade of a Blood Dealer, Mac navigates the shadowy streets, supplying blood to forgotten vampires. Each night follows the same pattern: distributing vials to scattered camps throughout the city and making drops to the Count's collectors by night's end. Amidst this despair, fortune teller Deja offers a glimmer of hope through an old television: a vision of Mac rescuing Shanna from the vampire mafia's clutches.
