Synopsis:
According to the Mayan calendar, legend has it that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. The United States of America is suffering greatly and has been under a barrage of wars and the greatest nation on Earth is on its last reserves. In an attempt to battle the disastrous homeland situation, Dr. Kelly Brice and Professor Popovich are recruited by the military to work on a serum derived from the last remaining vial of one of history’s greatest heroes, Van Helsing.
Test subject after test subject prove to be an utter failure. Doctor Kelly Brice and her mentor, Professor Popovich, have no idea that what they signed on to create would propel the world into the end of times. Donald, the lowly blue-collar janitor, enters the room. Donald becomes exposed to the experimental serum, and spreads it throughout the military base.
2012: One year later, the United States, and possibly the entire world, is now a devastated landscape of death as the virus quickly spreads through the populous. Depending on a person’s genetic makeup, humans either become "Primitives" or "Vamps." Most of the infected have died to rise again as Primitives, rabid and violent creatures whose only desire is to kill and eat, spreading the virus wherever they feed. The other rare few become the elite Vamps, who are agile, intelligent, and merciless creatures with murderous qualities.
Because of their superior intellects, the Vamps have become twisted and dark, believing themselves the next step in evolution and the rulers of this new age. The once seething blue-collar janitor, Donald, merges with the demon virus coursing through his veins to become the Demonic Vamp Balphame, leader of the Vamps. Balphame is intent on making the barren landscape his kingdom and quickly organizes his minions into a Vampire Army, with himself at the helm.
Doctor Bryce and Professor Popovich, having escaped from the infected military base before the world self-destructed, are now joined by a band of few remaining Army Rebels, led by the heroic Sid. The rebels have hidden themselves in a secret and secure lab in the country, where they all work to find a cure for the Drakul-virus and hopefully begin to repair the damage that they have unknowingly caused.
Sid remains hopeful for a cure as he had once been infected while leading his rebel force. Kelly managed to cure him of the first stages of the "Primitive" state and rekindles their hope. Sid leads the rebellion due to an intense guilt which he carries around with him like a scarlet letter. Sid had witnessed his family savagely devoured by the leader of the Vamps while he stood motionless and helpless. His one hope is to find his sister that was spared; however, she has been taken into the depths of Balphame’s lair. Sid isn’t the only one who has lost a loved one. Kelly’s dear friend, Professor Popovich, is dragged off into a nearby storm sewer to his certain death.
Balphame sends his right hand man, Dahn Tu, to seek out the Doctor and the leader of the Army Rebellion, "Sid." He manages to track them down and a scheme is hatched to herd the remaining army rebellions to Balphame’s lair.
When the rebel group arrives at the lair, Sid goes off to scout the grounds. While he’s gone, they are betrayed by a traitor in their midst and Doctor Bryce is captured. Sid, hearing the gunshots, runs to investigate, but is shot by Balphame, who has a couple surprises in store for the remaining group. He reveals Professor Popovich and Sid’s long lost sister, who have both been turned into Vamps. Sid is caught off guard by his sister and she tears out his jugular, leaving him to die on the floor.
Meanwhile, Popovich thinks he has convinced Kelly to turn herself into the superior Vamp race. Dr. Bryce tells Balphame that she’ll give him the vial and work with him only if he changes her into a Vamp. He agrees and bites her, and suddenly begins to convulse and foam at the mouth. Doctor Bryce reveals that she injected her newly created antigen into herself, gambling that it would affect Balphame when he tried to turn her. With only one syringe left, she injects the antigen into Sid’s sister, curing her of the Vamp virus. She can’t bring herself to shoot Popovich and lets him go, telling him that she’ll kill him if she sees him again.
Our story closes as it is reveals Balphame awakening, though it is uncertain whether he’s still a Vamp or has reverted back to his lowly human alter ego the janitor, Donald....
