- In 1793 London, vampire Ripley [Omar Ebrahim] is chased through a maze of abandoned waterfront warehouses. He falls through a broken floor and lies dormant in the city's icy catacombs until awakened 200 years later by reconstruction workers. Ripley soon soars to power in the London businessworld but he is suddenly ordered by Satan to kill three women in three days in order to live another year. On day 1, he kills fashion model Ginny [Willemijn van Gent]. On that same day Ripley agrees to marry Miranda Davenant [Fiona O'Neill] when her father Hugo [Richard Van Allan] confesses that business failures have left him bankrupt. The wedding is set for the day after tomorrow even though Miranda is in love with Ripley's partner Alex [Philip Salmon]. On day 2, Alex watches Ripley chase after business executive Emma [Sally-Ann Shepherdson], and Alex confronts Ripley who confesses to being a vampire. On day 3, just hours before the wedding, Ripley's chauffeur takes the car to be washed and finds Emma's body in the trunk. The chauffeur and Alex hasten to the church and reveal to all that Ripley is a vampire. In desperation, Ripley attempts to kill Miranda but lightning strikes a large cross which falls to the floor and impales Ripley. Days later, Miranda weds Alex.
