Coachella meets The Vampire Diaries in this absolutely addictive supernatural thriller where friends at a rural music festival must survive a vampire siege. Beautiful, confident, and freshly single Alix Summerlin and her friends are ready for the ultimate party weekend at the Garlic Groove Music Festival in remote little farm town Allium Valley. Her biggest worries are what designer outfits to wear each night and managing the post-breakup tension with her sweet-but-brooding ex, Logan. But when festival-goers start vanishing, and Kade-a mysterious, handsome stranger-warns Alix to flee town, she begins to suspect something sinister is at work. As the festival descends into chaos, Alix discovers the town's dark secret. Bloodthirsty vampires, emboldened by a garlic-less spring harvest, have taken over. With almost everyone dead or captured, it's up to Alix, along with Logan and Kade, to save Allium Valley. But Kade is also keeping secrets. Can Alix really trust him?
