Dorothy is a film director and a bit of a loser. One night, fueled up on beer, she is letting loose on her script when a call from her producer kills her buzz: enough with the queer comedies, it’s time to start making mainstream films. To avoid sinking to the deepest depths of despair, Dorothy seeks comfort in her favourite TV show Romy the Vampire Slayer. Unfortunately, her own demons show up.
