Vic (Nic Roewert) is a vampire - and he isn't all that happy about it, as he figures his need for human blood has deemed him to stay alone forever. And that has driven him to drinking - alcohol that is. And between these two he has found himself in a vicious circle, so much so that he has joined the Alcoholics Anonymous in an honest effort to get over at least one of his addictions - with at best modest success. But then he makes a chance acquaintance that changes everything ...

Now of course the vampirism-alcoholism anology isn't exactly new and anything but super-insightful - but at the same time it seems to be weirdly underused in the genre and on top of that finds a very original approach here, as it really starts out as your typical anti-alcoholism movie here with its seemingly prerequisite Alcoholics Anonymous session on top of it - to really examine the topic as a whole from that vantage point, without trying to delive the same empty message. And a genre savvy directorial effort and a competent cast make sure to drive the ball home, too.
