Sol: "He just wants someone to nosh."

by DiVitto Kelly

It’s the spring of 1978. Retired deli owner Sol Hirsch, formally of Queens, New York, has traded in his career of corned beef and garlic pickles for the warm, sunny weather of Miami Beach. With his wife, Myrna, he and another couple travel to Romania to visit her ailing mother. While on their week-long trip, Sol gets ambushed by a certain flying mammal as he and his good friend, Donnie, walk around a creepy lake at night. Upon returning home, Sol starts changing, sleeping in late and developing a thirst for blood. A New York Met die-hard, he soon finds himself particularly fond of noshing on obnoxious Yankee fans. As Sol’s condition worsens, Myrna’s feisty mother recommends a familiar person from her home town to try and help. The eccentric Mr. Laszlo flies in from Romania and vows to solve the problem, but Sol soon discovers his motives are anything but genuine.
