The last of a race of vampires, who've lived for thousands of years by feeding off the blood of victims, give their lovers immortality by injecting them with vampire blood. However, they end up aging at a rapid rate, sending them toward an eternal undead state. When one of the vampires' lovers begins to show signs of aging, she seeks the help of a hematologist.
