Blood. The more she drinks, the prettier she gets. The prettier she gets, the thirstier she gets.
An aging noblewoman discovers that bathing in the blood of virgins restores her youth and beauty. Assuming a false identity, she begins a deadly spree to maintain her facade and win the affection of a young soldier. Deception and horror escalate as her vanity and cruelty spiral out of control.
