Late at night, Gemma, a down-and-out genius jewelry designer, stumbles upon a thousand-year-old vampire statue petrified by an ancient curse. She breaks the seal with a blood kiss, awakening the vampire Lucian. From then on, Lucian protects her every step of the way — humiliating her backstabbing best friend and ex-boyfriend in a satisfying revenge arc, and helping her rise to become the president of a global jewelry brand. When Lucian exhausts his powers to save her and turns to stone once more, Gemma risks everything, racing to a frozen ancient altar to revive him at the cost of her own life. In the end, they are reunited and live happily ever after.
