When a security guard is murdered during a robbery at the Royal Ontario Museum, a Mayan jade cup is stolen at the same time. Dr. Alyce Hunter, who had discovered it, shows a sketch of the jade cup to the detective assigned to the case, Nick Knight. Knight, who is a vampire, recognizes that the cup in the sketch is identical to one that he himself had excavated at Altun Kinal in the nineteenth century. The pair of cups purportedly were used by the Maya in a ceremony involving pouring blood back and forth between the two cups. The ceremony is supposed to revert vampires to the human state.
