When trying to save a life becomes a death sentence.

Park Sunghoon has spent five centuries hiding what he truly is-the last vampire in a world that has forgotten his kind exists. Working as a painter at Seoul's art museum, he creates masterpieces in the solitude of night, his immortal hands capturing beauty that spans centuries of experience.

Until one December night changes everything.

When Sunghoon finds a dying stranger in an alley, he makes a choice that will haunt him forever. Believing his ancient blood can heal, he tries to save a life-only to discover that his greatest act of mercy becomes his most damning crime.

Now he's accused of murder, and the evidence is undeniable: blood on his hands, a corpse at his feet, and no way to explain the truth without revealing the impossible.

Enter Jake Sim, an overworked public defender fighting his own battles against Seoul's unforgiving legal system.

Assigned to what seems like another hopeless case, he finds himself drawn to his mysterious client-a man whose quiet dignity and haunting eyes suggest there's more to this story than meets the eye.

As Jake fights desperately to prove Sunghoon's innocence, their late-night strategy sessions become something deeper.

But how do you defend someone whose very existence is a secret?

And what happens when love blooms between two people, knowing one of them carries a truth that could destroy them both?

In a city that never sleeps, two souls will discover that some cases can't be won in court-they can only be decided by the heart.

But when immortality meets mortality, can love survive the weight of forever?

A haunting tale of sacrifice, secrets, and the price of loving someone you can never truly save.
