The narrator Joey Peacock (Jack Kilmer) — an irreverent, eternally-young 19-year-old — introduces us to his unconventional family and its formidable leader, Margaret McMannis (Minnie Driver), who has built a home for all of them under the subways of the city. Margaret’s strict rules have kept them safe and secure for decades... until one night when Joey's discovery of three little kid vampires changes their world forever.The cast includes Jack Kilmer, Minnie Driver, Danny Huston and Saul Rubinek. Produced by Dan Blank (Carrier) and Salt Audio (Blackout, Carrier) for Echoverse, based on the book under the same name.
