Plot
Derek Lee and Clif Prowse, two Canadian best friends, stand on the precipice of the unknown, leaving behind their mundane jobs to embark on a globe-trotting adventure. Derek, living under the shadow of a life-threatening aneurysm, wants nothing more than to seize every moment. Their journey begins in vibrant Barcelona, where they cross paths with musician friends and collectively set a course for Paris, the city of lights pulsating with a concert they've planned.
In Paris, the introverted Derek encounters the enigmatic Audrey. A single night of passion leaves Derek with more than just memories - he wakes up bitten, enrobed in blood, his life teetering on a chilling precipice. Fearful of jeopardizing their once-in-a-lifetime trip, they eschew hospital visits, pressing onward to Italy.
As they traverse the sun-drenched Italian landscapes, Derek begins to crumble under a mysterious affliction. He rejects food, burns under the sun's relentless gaze, and exhibits unnerving physical strength. The dreadful realization dawns on them - Derek has been infected by Audrey, transforming him into a creature of the night, a vampire.
Now, thousands of miles from their Canadian homeland, Clif and Derek are thrust into a race against time, seeking to uncover the origin of Derek's malady before it devours him entirely. Their journey, initially meant to be a montage of travel memories, morphs into a haunting chronicle of a horrifying transformation, a shocking revelation immortalized on film. As they grapple with the terrifying reality, they are left with the haunting question - will this footage be their only postcard home?
