True Blood Plot Synopsis:
Set in modern times, vampires roam the Earth and are humans' mortal enemies.
However, a substitute has been found for human blood, a substitute that vampires can consume with the same effect as human blood.
This is True Blood.
Now humans and vampires can co-exist in harmony, and even form relationships.
But there will always be rogue elements on both sides ready to exploit the uneasy truce.
What if vampires came out of hiding? The hit HBO True Blood features vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters and fairies.
An interesting blend but done well.
True Blood has Sookie as our half fairy heroin in the vampire society of kings and sheriffs.
Sookie has the ability to hear what anyone is thinking and uses that ability to her advantage in this crazy supernatural world.
