![]() Tagline: The face of humanity is changed forever.
Ed Dalton is a vampire hematologist who's charged with inventing a human blood substitute before the human food supply runs out and vampires starve to death. Unlike most others of his kind, Dalton is morally conflicted about his condition. Though he craves human blood, he refuses to drink it, gradually weakening himself on a second-rate diet of animal blood.
The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over the earth, transforming the majority of the world's population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species - forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction.
It's all up to Edward Dalton, 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.
