Synopsis
Cocktail
waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker
is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly
creature which gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires,
who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn’t enjoy it).
The
point is: they saved her life. So when one of the blood-suckers asks for a
favour, she obliges – and soon Sookie’s in Dallas, using her telepathic skills
to search for a missing vampire. She’s supposed to interview certain humans
involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and
let the humans go unharmed. But that’s easier said than done, and all it takes
is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly...
