In a world where vampires rarely reproduce through biting and instead rely on human-like childbirth, a breakthrough in artificial blood creation paves the way for peaceful coexistence. Raine, a grieving individual, chooses to adopt an orphaned vampire child, Joel, without the necessary artificial blood supply. Substituting his own blood, Raine unwittingly accelerates Joel's growth. As the boy rapidly matures into a man, Raine finds joy in fatherhood by day but yearns for a different companionship by night. Surprisingly, Joel steps into this new role, becoming the focus of Raine's affections and concerns.
