Blood Junkies

About Blood Junkies Rescuing lost kids is social worker Charity Miller’s job. But it becomes an obsession when she encounters the impossible -- a runaway who looks exactly like her big sister Hope, unchanged since her disappearance 20 years earlier. Despite her instincts, Charity follows her sister into a derelict Brooklyn building inhabited by mysterious young addicts. Charity needs to save Hope. But nothing is easy in a den full of vampires, addicted to human blood. These Blood Junkies have no intention of allowing her to leave their nest alive. And a maniacal stalker from Hope’s past has plans of his own. About Small Media Extra Large Small Media Extra Large is a hybrid film and interactive studio.
