A blue-collar dad provides for his family as a San Fernando Valley pool cleaner, which is secretly a front for a union of vampire hunter.

The movie begins with a Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx) a working-class man cleaning a pool. After ensuring the coast is clear, Bud breaks into a nearby house and confronts two vampires - an elderly woman and a younger man, that live there. After a lengthy fight, he kills the vampires and extracts their teeth. It’s implied that Bud’s job is to hunt and kill vampires and their teeth are sold for a paycheck with the teeth of older vampires (called Elders) commanding a higher pay-out. It is later revealed that the fangs are the only thing vampires cannot regenerate and also cannot live without. Bud tries to sell the teeth at a pawnshop, but the prices offered are low and does not help him with his money troubles. Bud badly needs the money as his ex-wife is planning to move to Florida with his daughter as her private school fees are too high. To pay the school bills, and also to fund braces for his daughter, Bud is forced to go back to the vampire hunting union from which he had been kicked out off because of his risky and aggressive hunting style that contravened many of the union’s protocols. Bud approaches his friend John Elliot (Snoop Dogg) who is well respected within the union, and he helps Bud get another chance at the union albeit with certain conditions. He is forced to only work the day shift which does not pay as much and he must also be baby-sat by a union rep Seth (Dave Franco), who is tasked to look for any violations committed by Bud and report them. Meanwhile, a female vampire, Audrey (Karla Souza) finds the vampires that Bud killed at the beginning of the film and mourns the death of the old vampire. She goes searching for their killer and tortures interrogates the pawnshop owner. She also reveals humans used to worship vampires as gods before turning on them and her plans to recreate this societal hierarchy.
