What is the plot of ‘Renfield’?

Dracula's loyal servant Renfield is obligated to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased, in this modern monster tale. Renfield is described as the tortured aide of history's most narcissistic boss. However, after centuries of servitude, and falling in love with Rebecca Quincy, a tough-talking traffic cop who catches his eye and gives him the strength to alter his life, Renfield is ready to see if there is a life beyond The Prince of Darkness' shadow. The only question is whether Renfield can leave. 

'Renfield' will have its world premiere on March 30, at the Overlook Film Festival, and will be released on April 14.
