Dennis (Kim Coates) drugs a woman and drinks her blood. Dr. John Alcore (Christopher Plummer) recruits for his life extension project, a drug designer Owen Augustus Urban III (Andrew Stevens) who created ecstasy. Dennis introduces Owen to the lab where Paula Bukowsky (Heather Thomas) is a willing test subject. It turns out to be a vampire virus.
99% of this is completely forgettable. It's no wonder. Andrew Stevens and Heather Thomas are lesser actors who do not have much range. She struggles to vamp it up as required by the story. Kim Coates is always good for a villain but his most memorable scene happens right at the beginning. The opening scene of a beautiful naked woman lounging while he shows off his bare butt.
