Former police officer Vicki Nelson lost her job after she was diagnosed with retinopathia pigmentosa , a disease that slowly leads to vision loss. She then withdraws into the private detective business and initially hunts down fraudsters or adulterers. When she comes across Henry, a vampire, the focus of her work changes. Henry Fitzroy is a nearly 500-year-old vampire from the 16th century and meets Vicky for the first time on a criminal hunt together. After Vicki has lost her fear and reservations about Henry, they are now investigating as a team for earthly and supernatural creatures. Her ex-partner Mike Celluci also plays an important role. At first he does not believe in supernatural powers and beings. He says that Vicki lost her mind with her eyesight. The team is completed by Vicki's assistant Coreen.
