 Mick St. John, a private investigator, has been a vampire for over fifty years. Mick meets Beth Turner, a reporter for the online newspaper BuzzWire, at the scene of the murder of a young woman. Mick and Beth begin investigating the crime together, helping each other to catch the killer. Flashbacks to 22 years ago show a domestic fight between Mick and his ex-wife Coraline Duvall over a kidnapped girl. Mick lights the house on fire and rescues the girl, leaving Coraline to the fire. It is revealed that the little girl has grown up to be Beth, and that Mick has tried to watch over her and keep her safe over the years. In the present, Beth discovers that Mick is a vampire, and Mick reveals how one becomes a vampire and tells her the story of how he was turned on his wedding night by his ex-wife, Coraline.
Beth asks Mick to help her friend Morgan find her stolen cameras. When
he meets her, Mick is completely shocked; Morgan is identical to his
ex-wife, Coraline. He becomes even more confused when his vampiric
sense of smell tells him that Morgan is human. Mick tries to expose
Morgan as Coraline, but finally comes to believe that she is a
doppelganger when he sees that she does not have the fleur de lis
tattoo on her shoulder as Coraline did. When alone, Morgan scrubs away
the heavy makeup that has been covering her fleur de lis tattoo. Beth
snoops through Mick's property, and finds out Mick was the one who
protected her as a little girl when she was kidnapped. Morgan goes with
Mick to his apartment to clean up after almost getting hit by a car.
Mick joins her in the shower and finally sees the tattoo on her
shoulder, revealing her identity as Coraline.
When Beth learns that
Morgan is really Coraline, the lady who kidnapped her as a child, she
goes to Mick's apartment and stabs her through the heart with a wooden
stake, not realizing that she has become human. Coraline goes to
hospital, but recovers and leaves after being revealed to be a vampire
again. Beth's boyfriend Josh is kidnapped by a dangerous Los
Angeles-based gang. Mick and Beth witness the event and drive after
him, but Josh is shot. Beth realizes that Josh is dying, and begs Mick
to turn him into a vampire; he refuses and Josh dies. While putting
Josh's affairs in order, Beth discovers that Josh was about to propose
to her.

Trivia
When the show went on hiatus during the writers' strike in early 2008, Sophia Myles (Beth Turner) cut her hair to her chin. When filming began again, she wore a wig beneath the bottom half of her hair to fit the character of Beth again.
Alex O'Loughlin (Mick St. John) is from Australia, and uses an American accent in the show.
Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) wears his coats with the collars flipped up, but in the poster artwork, his collar is flipped down. Alex O'Loughlin said in an interview that he didn't like that they changed the collar for the advertisements.
The show is based on creator Trevor Munson's book, which can be found on his MySpace page.
Beth's (Sophia Myles) last name is Turner - a tongue-in-cheek reference to a burning question in the story - "Turn her".
The vampires' pointy canines are retractable - they can hide their fangs.
