Day Shift plot
The film tells the story of a seemingly ordinary man who hides his secret job – as an elite-level vampire hunter.
The official synopsis provided by Netflix reads: “Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters.”
