Frequently Asked Questions

What is Daybreakers about? Toggle content

In a post-apocalyptic world where a plague has turned most of humanity into vampires, Edward Dalton is a unique individual - a vampire researcher who refuses to drink human blood. Instead, he works tirelessly to develop a synthetic substitute that could sustain his fellow vampires without the need for human sacrifice. But when he meets Audrey, a brave human survivor, he realizes that there may be more to life than just blood and science. Together with a small group of rebels, Edward and Audrey embark on a dangerous quest to find a cure for vampirism and restore humanity to its rightful place in the world. Along the way, they encounter powerful allies and deadly enemies, including a ruthless vampire kingpin and a subsider - a terrifying, bat-like creature that lurks in the shadows. As they fight for their cause, Edward and Audrey discover a hidden underground city of humans, and with their help, they plan a revolution to reclaim the world from the vampires. But time is running out, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will they succeed in their quest, or will the vampires maintain their grip on power? The answer lies in the power of human ingenuity and the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to give up in the face of overwhelming odds.
