Synopsis A quick calculation on the heels of a planetary crisis impels Lauren, a white vampiric shapeshifter, to take over a series of bodies. Lauren begins to be affected by the shapes of consciousness abiding within these bodies, which belong to artistically sensitive, young people of color. Although she resists, Lauren begins to surrender to changes within her. At the film’s conclusion, Lauren is subsumed by an entity larger than herself, a mysterious light form.
