investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of
an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. Smith will play Eph’s ex-wife Kelly
Goodweather. After winning a bitter custody battle, she embarks on a new life
with her boyfriend, but when she fails to heed her husband’s warning about
the contagion spreading in Manhattan, she pays the ultimate price.
