The indie film is produced by Empyrean Pictures and Rebel Maverick, and is written and directed by the duo George Watson and Kapers Williams. The film has wrapped shooting in Atlanta, Georgia and marks the feature debut of Watson and Williams as a directing team.

The film's plot follows a group of young vampires who celebrate the "Blood Day" of one of their own, Jasmine. After feasting on a local party's favor, the group becomes trapped by an invisible barrier that burns them every time they try to escape. As they try to ration the remaining blood they have collected, it becomes clear that if they do not feed soon, they will all perish.
