Night Junkies is a dark, sexy, urban vampire tale with an injection of Tarantino cool and ballistic action.
Set in the winding streets and dark alleyways of riverside London, the story centres on an unusual couple, Ruby and Vincent. Ruby works as a lap dancer for an East-end outfit intent on promoting her as a call girl. Coming from a very dark past, Ruby has always had to battle the world. Vincent was 'turned' in a dark alleyway by a femme fatale. After weeks of battling with his condition, he has now learnt to give into his addiction: blood.
Vincent and Ruby meet via a chance encounter in a London café; they fall in love after one special night. Vincent goes against his heart and tries to feed on Ruby to satisfy his addiction. Ruby escapes, but has now been 'turned' and has also become an addict - a junkie - a vampire.
Ruby, unsure of what is happening to her, returns to a remorseful Vincent who convinces her to stay and work things out. Together they try to go 'cold turkey' on their blood addiction. Ruby's previous 'owners' want their star girl back and Psycho (a contemporary Jack The Ripper) seeks her out.
Psycho eventually catches up with them, which makes for an explosive and deadly fight to the end.

'Hello, Night-Wolf here. When I was asked to take part in this documentary about my life I thought 'Yes' I've got a lot to give - let's let the public into the life of a full time costumed crime fighter, however I was not quite prepared for exactly what was involved. Rather than concentrate on my war on evil the film makers saw fit to delve into my past. I mean, sure, I've had 37 (or is it 38?) kid side-kicks die whilst on various missions. And, yes, sometimes the police aren't that enamoured when I offer to assist them. And, well, perhaps I did inadvertently help my arch nemesis escape incarceration and reap bloody carnage on the city, but really - everyone has bad days. I'm also displeased about how much screen time my former partner Wolf-Boy gets (as if he's not on TV enough!), then there's the somewhat candid interviews people give about my effectiveness in halting the criminal element. Until I can put an injunction on the release of this film I urge you to take everything with a pinch of salt - I mean they can do anything with editing nowadays'
