When some unidentified blood is transfused into him, he miraculously comes back to life, but the blood has turned Sang-hyun into a vampire! Sang-hyun is now conflicted between the carnal desire for blood and his faith, which forbids him to kill. But if he cannot survive without feasting on human blood, how can he get it without resorting to murder? Miraculously returning home alive, one day Sang-hyun meets a childhood friend, Kang-woo, and his wife, Tae-ju, among a crowd of people asking for his blessing.
