Prosecutor Min Tae Yeon is a [[Reluctant Monster|reluctant vampire]]. As he uses his abilities in his day job, his main goal is [[My Greatest Failure|to solve a 7-year-old murder]] in which the victim was close to him and the culprit was undoubtedly another vampire.
[[The Hero|Tae Yeon]] is asked to set up a special taskforce to investigate unusual homicides in the Seoul area. To this end, he is given several team members:
* [[The Lancer|Hwang Soon Bum]], a grizzled veteran detective who knows Tae Yeon's secret;
* [[The Chick|Yoo Jung In]], a young female investigator with a gung-ho attitude and a shadowy past; and
* [[The Smart Guy|Cha Dong Man]], the young enthusiatic intern and resident computer nerd.
The team is under the mantle of Chief Prosecutor Jang Chul Oh, who sometimes clashes with Prosecutor Tae Yeon. Together, they try to make Seoul safer for the living and the undead. ▼
