Detective Sergeant Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) discovers that his best friend Jack (Stephen Moyer) has gone missing on the night before his wedding. Investigating Jack's disappearance leads Michael into the path of a secret paramilitary vampire hunting organization supported by the British government and the Vatican. Michael learns that Jack has become a vampire. Michael remains devoted to his friend and abhors the brutal methods used by the organization's agents – including Vaughn Rice (Idris Elba) – until he realizes that Jack is lying about his situation and that the vampire hunters are correct in their assessment of the vampires.

Ultraviolet
by: McFlyNothing goes to plan
It's all the game of chance they say in wonderland
There's magic in the air
A tragic love affair that I don't understand
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short
The nights are long
Mrs Halloween
Is drinking at the bar again in New Orleans
She throws another dart
And narrowly avoids my lonely broken heart
Torn apart
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short (It won't be long)
The nights are long
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
So pinch me I must be dreaming
My life has lost all its meaning
But I like the way I'm feeling now
Kissing your lips at midnight
Under the stars and moonlight
But I never thought we'd be this strong
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
The nights go on and on
She's looking good tonight
I love the way she glows in ultraviolet light
Intoxicate my mind
I know that love is blind
And I'm not seeing right
Not alright
These summer girls are really something else
Our lives are short (It won't be long)
The nights are long
These summer girls are really something else
