LA NOCHE / THE NIGHTSHIFT
By Sthefanie Delgado

GENRE: Independent, Horror
LOGLINE:

After witnessing an assassination on her first night at the new shift & stopping a group of vampires from consuming someone, EIZA finds out the company she works for is behind a wave of disappearances & soon finds herself on the run from their network. With very little options & even less time, she seeks help from the people of a hidden town to uncover the truth, seek justice & put an end to the operation.

SYNOPSIS:

At the break of dawn, Eiza prepares lunch for her whole family before the sun is fully up and starts the long, daily commute to work while listening to class recordings from University, her day goes on normally in her split shift and uni classes until someone is assassinated at the store by a sort of commando.

Shocked, Eiza blocks the events and dismisses the sketchy memory as an exhaustion hallucination, having fallen asleep while studying.

Fresh off the schedule change, Eiza finds a group of vampires feeding off an innocent young man in one of the rest cabins the store offers. The vampires face Eiza and Ana, complaining they paid for this service and should not be interrupted, one of them gets on the phone.

Another one of the vampires threatens to have someone dispose of Eiza with just a call. They are interrupted by the arrival of law enforcement, who take the vampires and Ana away. Eiza manages to escape thanks to the commotion and takes confidential company data from Pablo’s office where she’s hiding with her.

Eiza makes it to one of the very few towns where the franchise doesn’t have any stores, where she meets a group of organized civilians led by Tita Cárdenas, a textile worker. Thanks to the information gathered by Eiza, they sketch up a plan to attack the company’s headquarters and make all the data public -releasing not only that the company was using rough sleepers and other abducted civilians as food, but also that the whole of government and authorities were in on the operation.

On their way to Montevideo, the group is ambushed by a squad sent by the company, after a quick but damaging fight, they make it to the city already beat up. Another group consisting of escapees (including Ana) is already there, and has started to make its way through the offices.

The building is far from sieged, Eiza and Sheyla lead a smaller team to the company’s archive and expose the company leaking all the operation data online while the fight continues, they are outnumbered and outgunned.

People collectively take it to the streets to avenge the memory of their missing loved ones, helping the almost defeated heroes change the tide, take siege of the company’s headquarters and subdue the responsible parties.
