They’ve got fire in their guitars, rebellion in their lyrics, and no patience for small-town conformity. But when a mysterious music collective invites them to play a warehouse show in Louisville, it’s the break they’ve been dying for—until the night turns into a blood-soaked nightmare.The venue? An abandoned slaughterhouse called The Abattoir.The headliner? A gothic band called Crimson Thirst.The fans? Not all of them are human.What starts as a killer show quickly spirals into a trap laid by actual vampires using the underground punk scene to hunt, hypnotize, and harvest the young and rebellious.
