SYNOPSIS
Night Junkies is a dark,
sexy, urban vampire tale with an injection of Tarantino cool and
ballistic action. Set in the winding streets and dark alleyways of
riverside London, the story centres on an unusual couple, Ruby and
Vincent.
Ruby works as a lap
dancer for an East-end outfit intent on promoting her as a call girl.
Coming from a very dark past, Ruby has always had to battle the world.
Vincent was 'turned' in a dark alleyway by a femme fatale. After weeks
of battling with his condition, he has now learnt to give into his
addiction: blood.
Vincent and Ruby meet via
a chance encounter in a London café; they fall in love after one special
night. Vincent goes against his heart and tries to feed on Ruby to
satisfy his addiction. Ruby escapes, but has now been 'turned' and has
also become an addict... a junkie... a vampire.
Ruby, unsure of what is
happening to her, returns to a remorseful Vincent who convinces her to
stay and work things out. Together they try to go 'cold turkey' on their
blood addiction. Ruby's previous 'owners' want their star girl back and
Matt (a contemporary Jack The Ripper) seeks her out. Matt eventually
catches up with them, which makes for an explosive and deadly fight to
the end...
