In the Kingdom of Hungary during the 17th century, Countess Erzsébet Báthory (born in 1560 and died in 1614) finds herself entrapped by a fierce desire for a younger man, leading her down a dark path. Overwhelmed by passion, she falls victim to an unhinged belief - that the mere act of drinking blood will preserve her youth and beauty forever. This historical drama delves into the disturbing psyche of one of history's most infamous women, revealing the extremes to which love can drive a person when faced with aging and obsession.
