The film was shot in New York and tells the story of two socialite vampires, Stacy and Goody, living their best undead life in the Big Apple. Goody was turned back in 1841 by a vampire queen named Cisserus and struggled with her vampire existence for over a century until Stacy was turned in the 1990s. Together, they navigate modern nightlife, feed on rat blood instead of human, and attend vampire gatherings where they share personal stories. Stacy recounts how the transformation gave her a second chance after battling drug addiction as a human. Meanwhile, Goody hides her true age from Stacy and discovers critical information: if their creator Cisserus is ever killed, they will revert to their real human age, which would be fatal for Goody. The film is a light comedy blending vampire folklore with the social life of contemporary New York.
