Synopsis
Two years after vampires have "come out of the coffin", the life of 25-year-old waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is changed when 175-year-old Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) walks into Merlotte's Bar in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Meanwhile, Sookie's friend Tara (Rutina Wesley) comes to work at Merlotte's while Sookie's tomcatting brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten) finds himself on the wrong side of the law.
