Fatso, a middle-aged cryptocurrency trader, leads a stagnant life in his run-down trailer, spending his days playing video games and listening to podcasts about immortality. Though his existence seems bleak, he's secretly obsessed with the idea of living forever. One day, his monotonous life is disrupted by two unexpected visitors - vampires Egons and Carlos. They offer him the eternal life he's longed for. However, there's a catch: to achieve immortality, Fatso must become a vampire himself.
