Over a thousand years ago, Ge Hong came upon a meteorite that had fallen from the sky. A mysterious substance inside it gave him extraordinary powers. Using his own blood as a catalyst, he treated people. Those who drank his blood not only recovered from their illnesses, but gained supernatural abilities as well. These powers faded in sunlight and could only be unleashed in full at night. Those who possessed them came to be known as Night Terrors.
A thousand years later, Ge Guoming transforms into a Night Terror in front of his son. The boy's fierce rejection drives a wedge into what had been a happy family, bringing about a catastrophe. Zheng Jiaxun, who can predict the future, falls out with his good friend Ge Muxian over a demolition dispute. He foresees that Zitan City will be submerged by a flood a year later, drowning everyone. He does everything he can to change that future, only to discover in the end that it all began with him. Min Rui arrives at the base of the Dark Night Society, a rebel group of Night Terrors, and finds Bai Yuejing imprisoned there. He rescues her, but it turns out that Bai Yuejing works for a military agency that fights Night Terror crime, and she harbors a deep hatred of Night Terrors. The prophecy comes to pass, and Zitan City is on the brink of annihilation. As everyone's fates converge, they wage a desperate battle to save the city...
