Plot:
A mosquito is swatted by Caleb, our resident local goat roper. The sun’s going down, so he’s off to town to cruise. Caleb and his pals spot the uber-hot Mae
sucking on an ice cream cone. Caleb tries hitting on her. Several lame pick up lines later, he’ll take her to trailer park.
Hi, I'm Mae, I'll be the cause of your vampirificiation tonight...
He drives her back and along the way they have a conversation. Mae is distant and really philosophical. Caleb keeps trying his Rico Suavay routine. Mae is
talking about how long light travels from the stars to get to Earth, she’ll still be around. Caleb is still after her. You’d think being that spacey would creep out a
normal guy even with the uber-hot may. But, with him being a cow short of a stampede, he doesn’t think anything about it.
They keep on trucking. Caleb wants her to meet his horse. The horse senses evil and runs away. Caleb tries kissing her. She wants to get home before
dawn, very adamant about it. He keeps driving on…
Caleb stops the truck until Mae kisses him. Mae does, slowly moves on to his neck, going for the bite. She heads running for home. Caleb heads home when
the truck breaks down. He stumbles home as the sunlight beats on him, starts to smoke.
Sarah, Caleb’s little sister, is helping Loy, dad. She spots Caleb collapsing in a field.
An ominous RV rushes by grabbing Caleb. It drives away, the windows are blacked out. Sarah and Loy see Caleb snatched. In the trailer, Severen is going to
kill Caleb: Jesses gives the ok. Mae reveals Caleb was bit not bled. Severen is really pissed. By now, Caleb has turned. Jesse has new orders to see if Caleb can
be one of them. He has no idea what’s going on at this point.
The RV pulls into a garage, everybody tucks in for some shuteye. Mae nestles in with Caleb.
Loy reports Caleb’s kidnapping to the sheriff.
That night, Mae claims she’ll teach Caleb. The 12 year old looking Homer converted Mae. Imagine a 12 year old male version of Claudia from Interview
With the Vampire, that be pretty close to Homer. Jesse will give Caleb a week to see if he fits in or not. Caleb is still not told what is going on. He meets the
rest of the gang: Homer, Severen, Diamondback, Jesse. The RV pulls out into the night.
Severen steals new vehicle. They burn the RV and use the new rig. Homer takes his bike with him. Caleb goes with Mae. He doesn’t feel good, not knowing
what’s going on, and wants to go home and leave.
Caleb staggers into town. Nice inside joke of seeing a marquee of Aliens in the background. Finds the bus station, he’s shy of the bus fare. Cop checks
Caleb out and gives him the couple of extra bucks he needs to get back home.
On the bus, Caleb is as sick as a dog. He manages to get where the rig is parked and Mae is waiting. She bites her wrist open and offers it to him. Caleb isn’t
shy about drinking it. Why do we get some subtle sexual overtones at this point? Caleb is better now. They run off into the night hand and hand.
Loy checks on Sarah. They talk with the sheriff. Police found a burnt RV. Sheriff claims Caleb fell in with a bad crowd. Loy and Sarah will search for
Caleb themselves.
That night, Caleb tries calling home. Mae wants Caleb to accept how things are. He must learn to kill to survive. She talks about using instincts.
Trucker sees and rushes to check on Homer collapsed on the road with his bike overturned. Well, Homer has his dinner.
Severen is doing a quick draw, hitchhiking. He gets picked up by a couple of girls.
Jesse and Diamondback are reminiscing about how Jesse turned her. They pull over for a hitchhiker, who pulls a gun on them. A second guy has gun at Jesse’s
head. Jesse has a big grin on his face. Somebody’s going to have dinner tonight.
Mae and Caleb are riding with a friendly trucker. Mae wants Caleb to kill. Caleb looks sick, needing blood. The trucker sees that Caleb has this strange look on
his face, stops the truck. Caleb jumps out and the Trucker checks on him. Mae is behind the Trucker and taps the vein. She lets Caleb feed from her wrist
again. In the background, oil derricks are pumping, more sexual overtones. Mae has to pull away to keep from Caleb from taking too much blood.
Loy and Sarah are in a diner, call the sheriff. They learn that Caleb was at a bus station heading for home but got off the bus. Loy decides to switch directions
on the search.
In a train car, Mae pleads to give Caleb more time. Jesse states Caleb will kill tonight or die.
Redneck Children of the Night.
They head for a bar. Caleb and Severen belly up to the bar. Severen spills a guy’s drink. Picking a fight with him.
Mae, Homer, Jesse, and Diamondback are at a booth.
Severen keeps insulting the bartender. Severen then spits a drink into the guy he was aggravating earlier. Severn holds Caleb for the guy to hit. Caleb fights the
guy and realizes he’s stronger now.
The waitress brings a drink for Jesse. Diamondback slits her throat catches the blood in the mug. Bartender is fairly disturbed by watching this. Severen is
acting more manic than normal. He sets his sights on the biker in the bar. The Bartender is loading his sawed-off shotgun.
Severen snaps the biker’s neck and takes a drink. Jesse is watching all of this. Caleb takes a shotgun blast to the chest from the Bartender. Severen sits
Caleb down and will take care of things. A slashed throat later, the bartender won’t be shooting any more vampires.
Homer shoots the guy Severn was picking the fight with earlier. Jesse motions for Mae to swing into action. She makes the guy dance with her. He’s
terrified. This is Caleb’s kill. Terrified guy jumps out the window to escape. Caleb is in hot pursuit.
The rest of the gang sets the bar on fire. Jesse finds a new van for them. Caleb catches up with Terrified guy who pleads for his life. Caleb lets him go. Van
pulls up; everyone is starting to darken the windows. They’ll take care of Caleb later. Terrified guy will report them to the cops. They don’t have a hiding place
set up. The cops will be looking for them. Needless to say, Jesse is as pissed as Lance Henriksen after Millennium was cancelled.
They pull into a motel right before sunup. Jesse rents a hut seeing the sun creeping up in the sky. The old manager seems to remember Jesse from many
years ago. Jesse grabs the key and leaves. Later, everyone is resting in the room, awakened by a knock on the door. It’s the fuzz. Severen opens fire
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Jesse and the rest are packing guns. The cops call for their surrender. The gunfight begins in earnest. Each bullet hole lets more sunlight into the room. They
need to get to the van. Caleb rushes to the van. Wrapped in a blanket, shot repeatedly, Caleb begins to catch fire. He drives the van crashing through the hut
wall. The rest pile in the van and drive off. Right now, all are happy with Caleb.

tries warning him not to fire. Loy shoots Jesse. Sarah rushes for the door, sunlight incapacitates them. Loy, Sarah, and Caleb escape.
Loy wants to know what’s happened to Caleb who refuses to go to the hospital, wants to go home instead. Somehow, Caleb has the idea to get a
transfusion. At home, Loy transfuses his blood into Caleb. Loy doesn’t know if it worked or not, keeping a vigil over his son.
Next day, Sarah comes in, sunlight falling on Caleb, who isn’t burning. He’s human again.
Sarah and Caleb are spending time with each other again. They have a typical family dinner. Caleb goes to check on something outside. Mae is waiting
and, they embrace. She feels he’s human again and leaves.

truck; Severen shoots the driver. Caleb climbs behind the wheel, runs over Severen. Thinking it’s over, he sees the bloody Severen climbing the hood of the
18-wheeler. Caleb jackknifes the truck, and jumps. The end result is a barbecued Severen.
He sees Jesse and Mae, Homer has Sarah. Diamondback is behind Caleb. Jesses keeps Mae from warning Caleb. Diamondback is about to throw the knife
in Caleb’s back. Sarah warns Caleb who ducks. The knife lands in Jesse’s mouth. Diamondback lets Caleb run for it.
