Fuggendo da un violento crimine, Eleanor e Clara, due misteriose e squattrinate giovani, giungono in una decadente localit\u00e0 turistica. Qui Clara incontra Noel, un ragazzo riservato e solitario, che offre loro un tetto in una squallida pensione chiamata Byzantium. Nel frattempo l\u2019eterna ragazzina Eleanor incontra Frank, un ragazzo dallo spirito affine, che la induce involontariamente a rivelare la verit\u00e0 sulla sua vita: lei e sua madre Clara per restare in vita devono nutrirsi di sangue umano. Nel piccolo, silenzioso borgo la gente inizia a morire. E il passato, dal quale le ragazze fuggono da tanto tempo, si ripresenta con conseguenze inaspettate.

Eleanor and Clara, two mysterious and penniless young women, flee the scene of a violent crime and arrive in a run-down coastal resort. Clara, soon meets shy and lonely Noel, who provides a roof over their heads in his seedy guesthouse, Byzantium. Meanwhile Eleanor, the eternal schoolgirl, meets Frank, a kindred spirit who unwittingly prompts her to tell the truth about her life. She confesses that she must drink human blood to stay alive \u2013 and so must her mother. In the small, quiet town, people start to die. And the past that the girls have been running from for so long, finally catches up with them \u2013 with astonishing consequences.
