A vampire story where the vampire isn't romantic, sexy, tragic, etc. but instead disgusting, narcissistic and evil in a seamy kind of way. Amanda is the heroine waitress who one night walks away from her dead-end life. She quickly realizes the dangers in her impetuous plan to hitchhike across country but, before she can get back home, crosses paths with a truck-driving vampire. Two supporting characters are Amanda's n'er-do-well boyfriend who is determined to change his life and do right by her and a local cop trying to find the serial killer who has been leaving bloodless bodies across this Canadian highway.
