Premise
Set in the fictional city of Maramores, the plot centers on the character of Lívia, whose destiny begins to be shaped in the 12th century when the vampire Boris falls madly in love with her and decides to win her over at any cost, regardless of time or place. In medieval times, Lívia is Princess Cecília, Beto is Count Rogério, and Boris is Duke Boris. The present-day story begins with the introduction of Lívia's story, her husband Beto, and their children, Zeca, Tetê, and Juninho. The family's happiness will be destroyed, just as in Lívia and Beto's past lives (Princess Cecília and Count Rogério), by the reappearance of the vampire Boris. He wants to reclaim Zeca, who is not actually Lívia and Beto's son, but his son with a mistress. As soon as he was born, while still in the maternity ward, Boris placed Zeca in the place of Lívia's true son.

Firsts Annie Matopoulos is a young, single woman who has taken on an incredible task - serving as a surrogate for her sister. Jealous of the attention that Annie receives while being pregnant, her friend Cassie decides she must have a "story" as well, and decides to masquerade as a virgin to attract a man. Meanwhile, when Carter is fired from his accounting job and comes home early, he finds his fiancée Liz in bed with a unique gift from her bachelorette party. Also, Judd Rouscher and his friend Bowman end up on a cross-country flight with Jennifer Love Hewitt, who is on Judd's "celebrity exemption list," allowing him to sleep with her without marital consequences.
