action
The series is about Bo, a supernatural being who grew up among humans. She is a succubus , which can deprive people and other supernatural beings of their life energy when kissing and thereby kill them. After accidentally killing her childhood sweetheart, she escapes from home and leads a lonely nomadic life. After a certain time Bo develops a hunger for a person's life energy and then has to kill someone, after which she moves on to another place. In the first episode, Bo saves a human girl named Kenzi, who from now on becomes her companion and friend. Confronted with the elders of the supernatural beings who call themselves Fae , she is introduced into their world. Bo deliberately decides against one of the two sides light ( light ) or darkness ( dark ), because she doesn't want to be just a pawn of the two powers that have distrusted each other for millennia and are on the verge of war.
With Kenzi by her side, Bo starts working as a private detective. Both Light and Dark Fae make use of their services because they are the only neutral person who can move on the territory of the other faction. In her investigation she is supported by the police officer Dyson, his partner Hale and the bar owner Trick, who, like Kenzi, play an important role in her life. The human doctor Lauren, with whom she develops a romantic relationship alongside Dyson, helps her with a drug to suppress the greed for life energy. Her exact ancestry remains largely unknown during the first season, but there are repeated indications that she is of great importance. The search for her identity initially determines Bo's life. During the second season she finds out more about herself and gets to know the world of the Fae better. She is getting stronger, but is also increasingly confronted with her fears and has to work harder to protect her friends.
