SYNOPSIS:

In Tijuana, Mexico, Laura is accepted to a dance master’s program abroad and has to quickly make a decision. She goes out with her friend, Ana, who assumes that she won't accept the offer because she's still hung up with her ex, José. Throughout the evening in the downtown district, Laura notices various girls that are carefully watching her wherever she goes. Distracted and anxious, she can’t make herself have fun like her friends, and is constantly annoyed by the assumptions they make of her. After an encounter with José later in the night, Laura takes his body to a coven of vampire dancers– the girls she saw throughout the night– and is initiated into the group.
