Synopsis :
Annika seorang dokter dan putrinya Saga yang berusia 17 tahun pindah ke sebuah kota kecil. Di tempat baru ini Saga berkenalan dengan Vega, seorang gadis yang misterius. Saga kemudian bertemu dengan Sebastian yang juga bekerja di rumah sakit tempat ibunya bekerja. Keanehan terjadi saat mereka mencoba sebuah pil merah misterius dan tiba tiba mereka dapat binatang berbicara, saat bawang putih terasa membakar tubuh mereka, dan saat seekor kelinci sangat melezatkan untuk disantap. Dari sini semua keanehan menjadi semakin nyata.

Annika, a medical doctor and her 17-year old daughter Saga have just moved to a small cold town far up north, as Annika is going to work at the hospital there. At her new school Saga meets a bizarre girl named Vega. And pretty soon, all hell breaks lose.After an intense opening, the film fast forwards to present day. A young girl, Saga, and her mother, Annika, have moved to a small town in northern Sweden which, in the midst of winter, is dark 24 hours a day. Annika has accepted a position with the local hospital working with a famed genetic researcher, Professor Beckert. Saga begins making friends with the local teens who, living in the far north, have nothing to do but indulge in – you guessed it – sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. Meanwhile, strange things are afoot at the hospital as Dr. Beckert, doing his best evil doctor impression, is giving mysterious red pills to a comatose patient.The teens have a connection with Sebastian, a young man working at the hospital, who hooks them up with drugs from the dispensary. When Sebastian takes one of the mysterious red pills he finds some strange side-effects – dogs begin to speak to him, crosses bother him, a garlic flavored meal begins to burn his insides, and a little rabbit begins to look appetizing. Oh yeah – and he notices a couple of sharp teeth protruding from his mouth. When local teens steal a box of the red pills to pop, mass vampirism explodes at a local house party, and all hell breaks loose. Not to worry though – "dawn is only thirty days away".
