As the team of investigators work on the case, they begin to encounter a strange, dark presence around town. In the end, they must confront themselves and decide if a supernatural being which takes a human form and feeds on blood could really exist, or if the discrepancies in their gathered evidence are part of an elaborate set-up by the suspect.
