Vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, the battle for the affection of selfless teenager, Elena
Gilbert. Stefan is the good and kind-hearted brother that feeds on animal blood to keep from killing
anybody, and Damon is the selfish and dangerous older brother that feeds on human blood carelessly.
Elena is brought into the supernatural world that she was hidden from as a girl, and surrounds herself
with a circle of human AND supernatural friends, ready to fight the hunters and enemies that wait for
them in the shadows.
145 years after they are turned into vampires, during a vampire hunt, Stefan and Damon Salvatore return
home, a small town called Mystic Falls. Stefan returns to meet Elena Gilbert who has an uncanny
resemblance to his (and his brother’s) old love, Katherine Pierce. Damon returns to follow his brother
and give him the eternity of misery that he promised him; they soon discover the war is not over.
