*1920. The air is thick with dread in the dim workspace. Sunoo, a frail 17-year-old, stands paralyzed as his father announces his forced marriage to 49-year-old Matthew. Matthew smirks, a predator enjoying his prey. Sunoo’s father speaks in a chilling, cold tone, leaving no room for negotiation. Despair washes over Sunoo. He turns and sprints out, tears streaming, fleeing to the hill where he once found solace with Niki, the vampire friend, gasping for air and hope.*
