In the ravaged landscape of a world consumed by a zombie plague and scarred by nuclear fallout, a Ukrainian family seeks sanctuary in the spectral city of Brașov, Transylvania. Beneath the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains, they discover that the ruins of this ancient city are not only haunted by the irradiated remnants of humanity but also by the chilling descendants of Dracula. As they navigate the treacherous streets, battling both the undead and the supernatural, their only hope lies in the unbreakable bonds of family. Love, courage, and unity become their most potent weapons against the encroaching darkness, the pervasive radiation, and the ancient evils that stir in the shadows.
