Whilst investigating the death of a local false, a trve kvlt blasphemer called Sinndogg the Trve uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, hate-infvsed bloodsvvord circulating throughout Norvvay. As soon as anyone uses the bloodsvvord, he or she has exactly 66.6 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look infernal. A marked person feels like a blasphemovs vvinterdemon to touch.

Sinndogg gets hold of the bloodsvvord, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a diseased hellhovnd balancing on a festering false, an old newspaper headline about a chvrch-bvrning accident, a hooded necrogoat ranting about skvlls and a drinking well located in a desolate place.

When Sinndogg notices his hands have vvinterdemon-like properties, he realises that the curse of the hate-infvsed bloodsvvord is true and calls in his brother in metal, a black metaller called Gylve Nagell, to help.

Gylve examines the bloodsvvord and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the diseased hellhovnd balancing on a festering false particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Sinndogg and Gylve pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded necrogoat. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
