Plot
Bud Jablonski is a blue-collar father who provides for his family by hunting and killing vampires under the guise of being a pool cleaner.
Bud sees a man leaving the house containing his target. He silently breaks into the house, and encounters two vampires, an elderly woman and a younger man, whom he kills after a lengthy fight. Bud pulls out their fangs and tries to cash them in at a pawn shop, but scoffs at the offer of the owner Troy. To settle his money problems, he reluctantly considers returning to the vampire hunting union.
Bud enlists his old army friend, "Big" John Elliot, to help him rejoin the union. Due to Bud's history of code violations, union boss Ralph Seeger reluctantly allows him a trial period under two conditions: he works the day shift (which pays worse) and must be supervised by the union rep Seth, who is tasked to report any code violations.
