- A modern vampire is killing people and sucking blood in the city. The police can't stop him, because of his wits and strength. One night, fighting with a police woman, the vampire bites her, but instead of becoming a new mistress for him, this woman becomes a super vampi-cop...—Luis Carvacho <lcarvach@lascar.puc.cl>
- Sixteen murders in two months. All of them women. All of them drained of blood. There's a vampire on the loose, but the police have no leads, no witnesses, and no suspects.
More than anything, ex-Homicide Detective Carrie Blass [Michelle Owens] wants to get assigned to this case instead of wasting away playing social worker on the Rape Crisis Squad where she was assigned after blowing a murder case in which her ex-husband Dennis [Michael McMillen] was the one who saved her ass. When there's a break in the case -- a witness who was bitten but not killed by the Vampire -- it becomes apparent that they need a woman to get the witness to talk, so they bring in Carrie. Carol [Darla Grant] describes a man wearing a gray pin-striped Brooks Brothers suit and an earring in the shape of a silver cross.
So far, it appears that the only way for Carrie to get moved back into Homicide is to sleep with Captain Nicoletti [Robert Miano], something she is not about to do. Carrie suggests that she and Nicoletti meet for drinks so that she can run a plan past him in which she offers to serve as a decoy for the killer. Unfortunately, the only thing in which Nicoletti is interested is getting Carrie's pants off. Carrie refuses and threatens to have a word with Internal Affairs about sexual harrassment. The next day, Carrie gets assigned to the case with one hitch. Dennis is to be her partner.
It's not looking good for Carrie's plan. Stake-out after stake-out and nothing happens, except for a vagrant asking for a handout. One night, on her way from her parking space into her apartment building, Carrie passes a milkman who claims to be making his rounds. Carrie notices the earring in the shape of a silver cross and begins to back away. The Vampire [Gregory A. Greer] jumps her. Carrie puts up a good fight and gets away, but not before the Vampire bites her arm. However, no one will believe her story about how she shot him once in the chest and once in the head but he got up and walked away.
The next morning, Carrie awakens to find that she has been chewing on the bite marks on her arm. Her eyes are extraordinarily sensitive to the sun. When two punks being booked at the station grab a gun and hold a cop hostage, it is Carrie who courageously confronts them and then bangs one of them against the wall until she cracks his skull open. That night on stake-out, she stops three punks from beating up the vagrant by tossing one guy across the parking lot and breaking another one's arm. She's about to bite the third guy in the neck when Dennis stops her. When interviewed by the media, she explains that it was gang related. Nicoletti places her on suspension for sixty days.
Carrie is becoming more and more sensitive to sunlight, and she feels sick all the time. She's beginning to have stomach pains and crave blood, even cutting herself for it. Her appearance on the TV was seen by the Vampire, and he telephones her, explaining that being a vampire isn't all that bad and assuring her that he'll soon be coming for her. Dennis scoffs when Carrie tells him that she thinks she's becoming a vampire, but he accompanies her to the morgue so that she can stake the Vampire's other victims before they start causing problems.
Carrie thinks that Carol might also have turned vampire and drives to her house. There, Carrie finds a mess -- rats eating food from the floor, blood smeared on the walls, blankets covering the windows, human body parts under the bedcovers, and Carol hanging from the ceiling. Carol doesn't like the competition for the Vampire's affections, so she jumps Carrie, but Carrie manages to stake her with a broken chair rung.
Carrie knows that her time is getting short when she is barely able to stop herself from drinking the blood of her pet cat. She also knows that she's going to have to find and destroy the Vampire really soon if she's to save herself from turning into one. First, though, she must have blood. As she stands in the bathroom, ready to slit her arm with a cuticle scissors, the Vampire suddenly appears behind her. He offers to take care of her forever, but Carrie refuses. As they struggle, Dennis suddenly appears. He fires eight shots into the Vampire and still the Vampire advances on him. Dennis is taking the worst of it when Carrie suddenly breaks a broom handle and stakes the Vampire with it. Surprisingly, he pulls out the stake and keeps coming. She picks up the broom handle and stakes him again, this time through the neck. It works, and he bursts into flames.
To be sure that killing the Vampire has returned her to human, Carrie tells Dennis to open the windows. As Carrie's face basks in the bright sunlight, the angels sing. [Original Synopsis by bj_kuehl.]
