Stakes!) romance, with Sarah Catherine Hook starring as the vampire ready to make her first kill and Imani Lewis as the vampire hunter she falls hard for.

Dylan McNamara is Oliver, Dominic Goodman is Apollo, Phillip Mullings Jr is Theo, MK xyz plays Tess, Jonas Dylan Allen is Ben, and Roberto Mendez stars as Noah.
