Her love is the purest, strongest, and most dangerous of all; a mother is everything. The mother, Lamia (Nelly Karim), is horrified after one of her twin sons, Malek (Peter Ramy), is injured in a car accident caused by his twin brother, Adam (John Ramy). As a result, Malek slips into a prolonged coma and is brought home, remaining detached from reality for nearly a year and a half. Lamia learns that there is a way to revive her son by giving him the blood of a human vampire, though he would become a nocturnal creature who never ages or dies, possessing acute hearing and feeding on fresh blood. Despite the danger and the objections of the father, Nader (Dhafer L'Abidine), Lamia insists on going through with it regardless of the consequences. In utmost secrecy, Nader travels to Romania to obtain the blood for one hundred thousand dollars. Fearing for his son, Nader tests the blood on himself first, turning into a vampire, but conceals this from his wife, Lamia. He brings her the blood and decides to administer it to his son in the morning, but wakes up after his wife falls asleep and gives the blood to his son, who awakens after a year and a half in a coma. His transformation is hidden from his brother, Adam, and Lamia is forced to steal the neighbor's cat so Malek can feed on its blood. In the morning, she buys rabbits and pigeons so their blood can serve as her son's food, unaware that her husband is feeding on fresh raw meat. When Malek realizes he will never grow and can never live in daylight, he seeks to make his brother Adam like him; he sucks his brother's blood to turn him into a vampire as well, leaving the household with three vampires: the father and the twins. Nader confesses to his wife, Lamia, that the blood Malek drank was his own. They all suffer from the intrusion of friends and neighbors, especially neighbor Gamila (Eman Younis), the cat's owner, who spots Nader digging in his garden and burying something. She digs up the ground to discover the carcass of her cat alongside rabbits. Fearing the neighbor's recklessness, Nader breaks into her home and drains her blood. Alongside consuming raw meat, he brings in a young boy and drains blood from his hand in exchange for money. When the boy returns for more money, he falls victim to the twins, who drain the blood from his neck. Nader is forced to buy a secluded farm for them to live alone, but the police are alerted to Gamila's body. The police arrive, discover the child's body in Nader's car, and raid the house after Lamia, her twins, and their nanny, Salam (Dalia El Kholy), have already fled to the new farm. However, Nader manages to drink the blood of two police officers before committing suicide by stepping out into the sunlight. Lamia struggles to feed her twins and finds no alternative but to offer them her own arms to drink her blood, becoming one of them so their destinies are united. (Bloodline)
