The Characters

Dale is a seasoned fugitive recovery agent who has spent years tracking down criminals who think they can outrun the law. Hardened by experience and guided by a strict sense of professionalism, Dale approaches every job with calculated precision. He understands the risks of his line of work and carries the emotional weight of the dangerous situations he regularly walks into.

When a routine bail enforcement job leads him to a rural property outside a small Colorado town, Dale expects another tense arrest. Instead, he becomes the first person to witness something impossible — the awakening of an ancient vampire buried beneath the soil. Faced with a threat that defies logic, Dale must shift from hunter to survivor as he fights to protect the people around him and uncover what has been unleashed.

Seth is Dale’s inexperienced brother-in-law and the newest member of the fugitive recovery business. Eager to prove himself, Seth joins Dale on what he believes will be a straightforward job. Though enthusiastic, he lacks the hardened instincts that come with years in the field, making him both vulnerable and unpredictable when danger escalates.

As the night spirals into chaos, Seth is forced to confront a reality far more terrifying than he ever imagined. Separated from Dale and hunted through the wilderness, Seth must rely on sheer survival instinct while discovering that courage sometimes appears only when there is no other choice.

The Conquistador is an ancient vampire dating back to the era of Spanish exploration in the Americas. Once part of a violent colonial expedition, he was eventually buried beneath the Colorado soil centuries ago after a brutal confrontation that left him staked with silver and arrows.

When Joel removes the blade that kept him imprisoned, the creature awakens — stronger than the grave that held him. Cold, calculating, and driven by a primal hunger, the Conquistador views the modern world as little more than a new hunting ground.

Larry is an experienced bounty hunter and longtime friend of Dale. Calm under pressure and deeply knowledgeable about the realities of fugitive recovery work, Larry brings a steady presence to the chaos unfolding around them.

When Dale calls him for help, Larry arrives prepared to assist with what he assumes is a routine problem. Instead, he finds himself confronting an unimaginable threat. Despite the danger, Larry faces the situation with quiet resolve, showing that courage sometimes appears in the most unexpected forms.

Devon is one of Brach’s associates and a key member of the meth operation hidden in the forest. Loyal to Brach and accustomed to life outside the law, Devon helps maintain the lab and keep watch for unwanted visitors.

Though dangerous in his own right, Devon quickly realizes that the threat stalking the woods is far beyond anything he or his crew are prepared to face.

Zed is another member of Brach’s operation. Slightly eccentric and unpredictable, he spends his downtime playing guitar around the campfire while helping run the illegal operation hidden in the woods.

Despite his relaxed demeanor, Zed is quick to react when tensions rise. Unfortunately for him, the night’s events escalate far beyond a simple confrontation with trespassers.

Wendy is Joel’s sister and the owner of the rural property where the events of the film begin. Practical, stubborn, and protective of her family land, she is used to Joel’s reckless behavior and poor decisions.

Unaware of the horror Joel has unleashed in the nearby field, Wendy becomes one of the first victims of the nightmare that begins to spread across the quiet countryside.

The Sheriff is the longtime lawman of a small Colorado county, a man who has grown comfortable holding authority in a quiet town where very little ever happens. Confident, sarcastic, and slightly condescending, he often treats serious situations with a casual arrogance that comes from years of routine policing.

He has little respect for bounty hunters like Dale, viewing them as aggressive outsiders who operate outside the rules that govern official law enforcement. Despite his swagger, the Sheriff is ultimately out of his depth when confronted with the supernatural horrors unfolding in the Henderson trailer.

When he responds to the scene expecting nothing more than a routine investigation, he instead finds himself face to face with the impossible — a vampire attack that shatters his understanding of the world and leaves him fighting for his life.

Deputy Briggs is the Sheriff’s inexperienced partner, representing the younger and less seasoned side of the department. Loyal and eager to do his job, Briggs follows the Sheriff’s lead and trusts his authority without question.

Unlike the Sheriff, Briggs lacks the experience to handle sudden chaos. When the investigation at the Henderson residence turns deadly, Briggs is the first to enter the trailer to search for survivors. Unfortunately, his willingness to act quickly places him directly in the path of the newly turned vampire Wendy Henderson.

Caught completely off guard by the brutal attack, Briggs becomes one of the earliest casualties of the spreading vampire outbreak.

The Bartender works at the local watering hole where much of the town’s gossip and late-night stories circulate. Used to seeing all kinds of characters pass through his bar, he serves drinks to locals, travelers, and the occasional troublemaker looking to blow off steam.

When Joel Henderson begins talking loudly about a mysterious treasure map and buried riches tied to his family land, the Bartender becomes one of the first witnesses to the strange chain of events that will soon spiral out of control. What starts as just another night at the bar quickly turns into the beginning of a story no one in town could have imagined.

Katie is Seth’s sister and Dale’s wife, caught in the middle of the dangerous world her husband works in. While she cares deeply for both men, she has always been wary of Dale bringing Seth into the bounty hunting business. She understands the risks better than Seth does and fears that one day the job will take something from their family that can’t be replaced.

As the night unfolds and strange events begin to escalate, Katie becomes one of the few people who realizes something is terribly wrong before anyone else can fully explain it. Her growing concern for Seth turns into desperation as she tries to make sense of the chaos spreading through their quiet town.

Shane is a practical, blue-collar craftsman who spends his days shaping and repairing tools, equipment, and custom pieces of metal for locals around town. Skilled with silver and other metals, he takes pride in the precision of his work and the reputation he’s built in the community.

When Dale comes looking for a specialized piece of silver, the metal worker unknowingly becomes part of the strange events unfolding around the town. What begins as a simple job at the shop soon connects him to a much darker story involving ancient weapons, superstition, and a threat that should not exist in the modern world.

Jiji is Larry’s loyal dog and constant companion, rarely far from his side. Calm, observant, and instinctively protective, Jiji often seems to sense danger before the humans around him do. Like many good dogs, he reads the mood of a situation quickly and reacts with quiet alertness when something feels wrong.

In the midst of the chaos unfolding around Larry and the others, Jiji serves as both a source of comfort and an early warning presence, reminding everyone that sometimes instinct can be more reliable than reason when facing the unknown.
