Plot

In the heart of the enigmatic "Carpathian American" society, nestled in the urban sprawl of Long Beach, a chilling secret thrives. This society, reminiscent of any other expatriate organization, flourishes with familial gatherings and shared business ventures, yet harbors a blood-curdling difference - a dark propensity for the consumption of human blood. The film's unnerving journey commences deep in the bible belt, where young Cody awakens to the horrifying spectacle of his parents' brutal demise at the hands of merciless intruders. Pierced by a crossbow bolt, Cody narrowly escapes the hands of these relentless "hunters." Heeding his parents' dying advice, Cody seeks solace with his enigmatic uncle in Long Beach, an unscrupulous businessman and eminent figure within the Carpathian American society. Cody is soon intertwined within the society's intricate web, encountering eccentric characters along the way. Among them are Harry, a crusading journalist with a non-Carpathian girlfriend/lawyer advocating for Carpathian integration, the sultry Celia who savors the thrill of a bitten neck in her intense moments of ecstasy, and "The Shrikes", a rebellious gang of adolescent vampire bikers. Cody's initiation into this clandestine world reveals the terrifying secret that binds this clan together - their ancient thirst for human blood. However, this sinister peace is shattered when the hunters from Cody's past resurface, hell-bent on annihilating the nest of vampires they've uncovered. The Carpathians are now left with an impossible choice - to maintain their facade of respectability or to rekindle an age-old blood feud. In the modern world, they've adapted, they've evolved, and they've learned to control their bloodlust. But will it be enough to survive when the hunters become the hunted? This is the pulsating heart of "Blood Ties", an exploration of chilling family bonds and the struggle for survival in a world that fears their kind.
