Synopsis
In New York City, struggling artist Evelyn "Evie" Jackson makes a living freelancing for a catering business with her best friend Grace. Evie takes a DNA test, discovering she has a distant cousin in England named Oliver Alexander. She meets Oliver, who tells her the scandal of her great-grandmother, Emmaline, who had a secret child with a Black footman. He invites her to an upcoming family wedding in England. Evie arrives in Whitby at the New Carfax Abbey, where she meets the lord of the manor, Walter De Ville, and Mrs. Swift, a longtime maid of the estate. She also meets the rest of the Alexander family and the maids of honor, friendly Lucy and condescending Viktoria. Evie gradually begins to notice unsettling occurrences during her stay. She sees an apparition of Emmaline, who was shown in a flashback, hanging herself from the staircase. Maids start disappearing as they are attacked by a shadowy figure. Evie finds herself romanced by Walter before discovering he had been researching her before her arrival. She confronts him and threatens to leave. The family hosts a rehearsal dinner, where Evie expects to finally meet the bride and groom. Instead, Walter announces that he and Evie are to be wed. The butler, Mr. Field, slits a maid's throat and pours her blood into a bowl. Walter, Lucy, and Viktoria are all revealed to be vampires who then drink the maid's blood. Evie's ancestors, the Alexanders, are one of the three families who, for centuries, have each offered one of their women to become Walter's wife in exchange for protection and wealth. Emmaline was originally intended to be Walter's third bride, but she killed herself due to her guilt of killing humans, and due to the loss of her love, Evie's great-grandfather, and infant son. The Alexander family had trouble finding a female member since until they found Evie. Viktoria locks a frantic Evie inside a coffin, but she is freed by Mrs. Swift, who is killed by Mr. Field. Evie makes it into town and asks an elderly couple for help but is knocked unconscious, as they work for Walter.
Evie wakes up to find herself with one of the maids, Diya, and Walter. Walter reveals himself to be Dracula as he mentions he was once known as the "Son of the Dragon". Evie then watches Walter bite into Diya's leg and falls unconscious. Upon waking up, Evie is now in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle to wed Walter. As they finish exchanging vows, she bites Walter's arm, consuming his blood, and instantly transforms into a vampire. She sets the wedding chapel on fire, stabs Walter in the heart, and flees with Diya. An enraged Viktoria ambushes Evie, but Lucy intervenes. The two brides fight before Lucy impales both Viktoria and herself into a spear, turning them both into ashes.
Evie is attacked by Mr. Field, who insults her biracial heritage before she kills him. She is then grabbed by an aged Walter. She breaks free by severing his wrist with a cheese wire and kicks him into the flames. As he dies, she loses her powers due to his death, and reverts back to human form. Two weeks later, Evie and Grace track down Oliver in London, intending to attack him for selling Evie out for money.
