Taking place two years after the revelation that vampires walk among us, Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress in Merlotte's Bar in Bon Temps, Louisiana, meets vampire Bill Compton, a newcomer to the small town. She's immediately attracted, in part because she can't read his mind, and she's called into action when Bill is attacked by locals. Meanwhile, Sookie's brother Jason is arrested for murdering a local "fang banger" (someone who sleeps with vampires), and Sookie's volatile friend Tara comes to work with her for their boss, Sam Merlotte.
Bill rescues Sookie from the people who attacked him earlier, giving her some of his blood to heal her wounds -- which leaves her with odd side effects. She invites him to meet her family, and she meets his vampire friends. As the two get to know each other, however, Bill must fight his vampiric urges. Elsewhere, Tara deals with her mother's alcoholism, and a new church threatens the vampires.
Bill wards off his fellow vampires by laying claim to Sookie. Jason seeks the help of Lafayette, Merlotte's cook, for his problems in bed. Meanwhile, Tara and Sam provide each other comfort in ways they never imagined.
When Jason is arrested for another murder, Sookie seeks to use her powers to find the real killer. Bill takes her to the vampire bar Fangtasia, where she meets Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), a Viking vampire who is the most powerful bloodsucker in the area. Jason suffers the effects of taking vampire blood.
Bill reveals details about his past life as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. Trying vampire blood again, Jason finds himself drawn to Tara. Sookie and Sam go on a date.
Bill learns of Sookie's painful past and jumps into action. Jason meets a woman named Amy in Fangtasia as he searches for V juice to feed his desire. A group of locals attack Bill's vampire associates.
Sookie braces herself for more tragedy. Tara is amazed at her mother's progress and considers drastic steps herself. Amy shows a darker side to Jason when the V juice runs dry. Sookie agrees to help Eric catch the rednecks who attacked the vampires.
