Spoilers ahead
In the mid-21st century, a dangerous virus known as the Hemaglophagic virus (HGV) escaped from a laboratory, intended to create enhanced soldiers. Once infected, humans are transformed into hemophages (a.k.a. “vampires”) with a significantly shortened lifespan of only 12 years. They develop features such as elongated eyeteeth, accelerated regeneration, enhanced reflexes, and superior strength. Among those affected is Violet Song jat Shariff, whose infection occurred while she was pregnant. Captured and placed in a holding camp for observation, Violet becomes part of a larger struggle against the oppressive forces led by Vice Cardinal Ferdinand Daxus, who is hell-bent on exterminating hemophages.
