A Brief Synopsis: Charley is a high-school senior who’s in with the “in” crowd and dating Amy, the most sought-after gal on campus. But trouble enters his world in the form of Jerry Dandridge, a charismatic new neighbor. After witnessing some unusual activity next door, Charley concludes that Jerry is a vampire.
