By Jim Kowalski

LOGLINE: This dramatic horror feature follows Cory, an orphaned Brazilian heir to Padre Flores’ Vice cartel, who flees the country when he suspects Padre’s interest in his kid sister, Allie. Both bestowed with insatiable, inhuman abilities by a mysterious creature’s attack during their escape, Cory builds an army of the same from NYC degenerates so they can kill Padre and find a cure.

SYNOPSIS:

Cory was raised by the Brazilian streets with nothing more than his infant sister, Allie. While looking for food, he finds Padre Desmond Flores’ jungle compound and their old life closes for another to begin. Cory grows to run Padre’s other business, vice at its best. But, Cory makes a desperate choice when he finds Padre has secret plans for Allie in that business. As Cory and Allie flee to New York City, they’re bitten by something in the jungle. And, it changes their lives forever. Ten years later in the States, Cory and Allie fight a losing battle against the gifts and burdens that come with being bitten. Allie has lost control of her feeding and because of that Cory loses control of his job with the local Russian vice broker he works for. They can’t go backwards or forwards. After Allie gets mortally wounded because that urge, Cory makes a desperate plan: Build a “tough love” army of bitten human trash to return to Brazil and find a cure… after they destroy Padre’s army. Back in Brazil, Cory’s posse is victorious in their last stand, with victory leaving only Cory and Billie standing. It’s here that Cory faces a hard truth: He and Allie are children of Padre and an ex-hooker of his that he cast to the jungle. With Allie’s life fading, he and Billie scour the jungle until the thing that bit he and Allie find them first. Too bad it’s his mother. To protect them from Padre, she bit them and waited by a “Fountain of Youth” for them to return. It’s here that we learn that a long forgotten shipment of research Vampire Spiders has made their way from a loading dock to this spring, and that the spring is the cure. But, we learn another harsh lesson: the spring is unique yet again when Billie drinks from it as well but can’t be cured. He remains the last of his kind. The cured Cory, Allie, and their Mom, now aged to their true ages and living in Brazil, remain loyal to Billie in New York and vow to find him a cure. But, can the last superhuman trash stay strong until then to remain human?
