Set in San Fernando Valley, Netflix’s ‘Day Shift’ tells the story of Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx), a blue-collar vampire hunter who the world thinks runs a pool cleaning business. After learning that his former wife intends to move to Florida with his daughter, Bud rejoins the vampire hunting union for better pay. As his new boss doesn’t like him, Bud is paired with Seth (Dave Franco), an office clerk who has never done fieldwork before. However, Bud and Seth soon discover that they must put aside their differences and work together if they want to survive the wrath of a vampire named Audrey, whose daughter, also a vampire, was killed by Bud.
