In one of the best films of the year, Sasha (Sara Montpetit) is a young vampire with a serious problem: she is too sensitive to kill. Desperate, the girl's parents cut off her blood supply, and she realizes that her life is in danger if she doesn't learn to hunt.
Until one day, she meets Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies who is willing to lose his life to save hers. But this agreement between the two soon turns into a kind of quest through the night to fulfill his last wishes before dawn.
