After a terrible car crash in which his son dies, a brilliant surgeon becomes prey to unbearable physical pain, and it can only be eased by the taste of human blood. When he encounters a man who claims he can help him get his life back, he embarks upon a nightmarish journey through which he will either have to come to terms with his pain… or become a monster.
