🧛 Plot Summary


Zachary Simms is a 350-year-old vampire who wakes up in his coffin after having overslept for 100 years.


He finds his crypt is now under the house of a modern career woman named Kendall Gordon (Kimberly Foster).


Zachary and Kendall fall in love, leading the vampire to try and “re-humanize” himself to be with her—by doing things like eating human food.


His attempts are complicated by his jealous vampire creator and former lover, Nerissa (Michelle Forbes), who demands his return, and Kendall’s jealous ex-boyfriend, Dwight (Roger Rose).


The humor comes from Zachary’s comical collision with the modern world as he tries to adapt to the 1990s.
