8 x 30'
Meet Eddie, the lovable yet chaotic burger joint owner whose life takes an unexpected turn when he's bitten by Igor, a 576-year-old vampire with a flair for drama. Now, stuck as an Upir—a precursory stage to becoming a vampire —Eddie must reclaim his humanity or else face an eternity of damnation. But there's a catch: to do so he must serve Igor’s every whim for 30 days.
Once the top dog of Berlin's vampire scene, Igor has seen better days. To reclaim his throne and challenge reigning queen, Ava, he needs Eddie's help to complete three ridiculous favors for his vampire peers. Reluctantly, Eddie joins this perilous quest.
Enter Frieda, a cynical detective hot on the trail of a series of drained corpses. She strikes a deal with Eddie: help her crack the case, and she’ll grant him immunity. But Frieda's got bigger plans.And then there’s Andi, Eddie’s hapless friend – bitten and discarded by Igor. Thirsty for revenge, he teams up with Uwe, an aspiring vampire hunter whose enthusiasm far outweighs his skill. Together, they form the most inept vampire-hunting duo Berlin has ever seen.
The Upir is a hilariously dark tale of survival, strength and the supernatural. Join Edde and this motley crew as they stumble through Berlin's treacherous underworld, trying to reclaim what they've lost and maybe, just maybe, save the city from total chaos.
