Liu and Kiyoshi are like brothers, and now they are alone in the village, both their fathers and mothers are died. Kiyoshi is a fragile man and probably he will succumb to the same fever that has killed his mother, but Liu loves him so much, much more than a brother. And he will do eveything to protect him.
But then one night Kuro, a rogue vampire, arrives in their home and use his powers and the sexual desire of Liu for Kiyoshi to drag Liu inside his world. And Liu goes and Kiyoshi with him.
Kiyoshi is a gentle soul and cannot bear the vampire's life; his desires are not so strong like those of Liu, and so he will be not a vampire strong as Liu.
Liu is a man of passion, and his passion will led him to the darkness side of his soul.
Maybe I have a gentle soul like Kiyoshi and till the end I hoped for Liu to awaken from the nightmare and return back to Kiyoshi.
