About CROW’S BLOOD
20 years have passed since the first clone sheep Dolly was born. With regenerative medical techniques evolutionally advancing over those years, regeneration of human organs, which was thought to be impossible, has become a reality. While regeneration offers a broad range of possibilities, human beings are now trying to play God, to “re-create life.”
When we lose someone we love, are we allowed to regenerate their life or even bodies?
CROW’S BLOOD is an entertainment drama which aims to tackle this controversial subject. It will be an ultimate horror/suspense drama with a mixture of love, blood and mystery taking place in modern Japanese society.
