season 1

Several girls are murdered in the small town of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania , which is why the investigating sheriff is feverishly looking for the killer. In addition, rumors are spread that the gypsy Peter Rumancek, who had recently moved in with his mother, was a werewolf (named Vargulf in the series), which makes him one of the main suspects in the case when the girls were killed by an animal. Gradually he befriends Roman Godfrey, with whom he goes to school.

The Godfrey family are very wealthy and influential in Hemlock Grove, they own a research institute (the Tower) which is run by Dr. Johann Pryce conducts secret experiments, among other things. Since Olivia Godfrey is a widow, she runs the institute for her son Roman, but lets Dr. Pryce is free to do research and experimentation. Olivia's brother-in-law, the psychologist Dr. Norman Godfrey, with whom she is having an affair, distrusts the institute and believes that the murders committed in Hemlock Grove are related to the institute. When Norman's daughter Letha finds out that she is pregnant, she believes that the child was conceived by an angel. Peter befriends the pregnant Letha and the two fall in love, which creates tension between him and Roman. However, the two want to protect Letha and decide to kill the werewolf themselves.

In an abandoned church, the sheriff's foster daughter, Christina, is revealed to be the unknown werewolf who murdered the girls, and she is killed by Roman's sister Shelley.

Letha does not survive the birth of her child and Peter, who is devastated, moves away with his mother. Roman is so influenced by Olivia that he commits suicide on his 18th birthday in order to become a full Upir, since a vampire can only arise through self-surrender. He also learns that he is the father of Letha's child.
