    Synopsis:

    After thousands of years of discipline in sorcery and enlightenment, the fox species have evolved to near human form while retaining most of their powers. The clan of the Fox with Nine Tails have existed beyond human eyes, striving to co-exist with the human race. By day, they live among us, working and living regular lives, but at night, they feed off of sacrificial humans. A silent bond exists between humans and the foxes, but that bond is about to be broken as senseless murders are occurring where the victim's body parts are missing and eaten up.

    The Clan sends out their "enforcers" to investigate the matter to bring peace between the humans once again. Shi Yeon (Kim Tae Hee) and her team soon tracks down one of the perpetrators only to find human Detective Min Woo (Jo Hyun Jae) hot on their track. Unbeknownst to Min Woo, he falls in love with Shi Yeon - a love that compromises the bond between humans and the Foxes where both sides will stop at nothing to keep that bond. . .
