据联邦调查局估算，目前美国境内大约活跃着300名连环杀手。如果这些杀人恶魔有办法相互沟通、联系，甚至交流「谋杀经验」，那会是怎样一种情况？如果他们联手犯案，甚至形成某种遍及全国的联盟，那又会是怎样一种结果？如果这些杀手中有一个变态杀人狂足够聪明，聪明到能够团结所有的杀人恶魔，进而激活一种人人效仿的「谋杀文化」，美国会变成什么样子？这部由《吸血鬼日记》（The Vampire Diaries）制片人Kevin Williamson打造的惊悚罪案剧便以这三个疑问为故事背景。
在本剧开始的时候，臭名昭著的连环杀手Joe Carroll（James Purefoy）从死囚大牢中越狱逃走，再次在社会上大开杀戒，无计可施的联邦调查局只好求助于已经退休的探员Ryan Hardy（Kevin Bacon）。九年前，Hardy凭借自己的努力亲手逮捕了心理极度变态的Carroll－－当时公开身份为大学文学教师的Carroll已经在弗吉尼亚州的大学校园里谋杀了14名女学生。Hardy知道Carroll的一切，他就像一本专门为Carroll而存在的「活百科全书」。正因为如此，他是Carroll唯一的对手－－无论是心理层面还是智力层面。
但今天的Hardy不再是九年前那个意气风发的联邦探员。在追击Carroll的过程中，Hardy的身心均受到巨大伤害，所以功成名就之后Hardy便从公众的视线里消失了。他就像个久疏战阵的士兵，对于如何开展案件调查工作已经有些陌生。或许……这次的行动是他自我救赎的好机会。但现在的情形和九年前完全不同－－调查工作不再由他一个人说了算，真正的主导力量是联邦调查局特别成立的专案组（他的身份仅仅是「顾问」）。调查组的成员包括对工作充满激情、像男人一样强悍的女探员Jennifer Mason（Jeananne Goossen）和思维敏锐的的年轻探员Mike Weston（Shawn Ashmore）。
一开始专案组并不认为Hardy有太多价值，反而把他当成一个包袱。但Hardy很快用「实力」给自己正了名：他发现Carroll正偷偷摸摸地与一个连环杀手网络进行交流。显然Carroll的计划并不单纯是逃狱那么简单，但专案组既不清楚这个连环杀手网络中有多少名成员，也不清楚有多少人在与Carroll进行联络。
随着调查工作的深入，Hardy接触到Carroll的前妻Claire Matthews（Natalie Zea）。Claire和Carroll生了一个儿子（Kyle Catlett），今年已经10岁了。Hardy希望通过Claire来分析Carroll的下一步打算，但事态却突然恶化－－Carroll绑架了九年前他谋杀未遂的受害人，似乎想要完成当年没有完成的「工作」。Hardy决心陪Carroll玩这一局棋－－但他的对手不再是Carroll一人，而是一群被相同的谋杀文化所驱策的变态杀人狂，一支「连环杀手军团」。最后的赢家会是谁呢？
与此同时，Carroll正肆无忌惮地率领他的「连环杀手军团」在专案组和Hardy周围编织一张「谋杀网」。Carroll还打算写一本小说来回顾这些年的「谋杀经验」，小说的主人公就是他的死对头－－Hardy。 --- 出自

——天涯小筑

After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. Exactly one year later, the deadly secret resurfaces as they're stalked by a hook-handed figure.

Life hasn't been the same for Elena since the tragic death of her parents, but she tries to pick up the pieces and provide support for her troubled younger brother, Jeremy. On her first day back at Mystic Falls High School, Elena meets the mysterious new guy, Stefan, and the two seeming lost souls form an instant connection. What Elena doesn't know, however, is that Stefan is a vampire, constantly resisting the urge to taste her blood. But Stefan, it seems, has a greater evil to deal with when his dangerous older brother, Damon, shows up to wreak havoc on the town of Mystic Falls — and claim Elena for himself.

Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott has put herself back together thanks to her writing. However, her return to Woodsboro sparks the return of the Ghostface Killer.

Idealist Dawson Leery and his friends face family dramas, peer pressure and self-esteem issues as they navigate through high school and college.

The fourth season starts off with everything in transition. Elena faces her worst nightmare as she awakens from her deadly accident to find she must now endure the terrifying change of becoming a vampire — or face certain death. Stefan and Damon are torn even further apart over how to help Elena adjust to a life she never wanted, and everyone must cope with the chaos created after the vampires and their supporters were outed to the town council and local leaders. Despite everything, as Elena and her friends enter into the final stretch of high school before graduation sends them on different paths, they feel the bond to their home town of Mystic Falls take on a deeper meaning when a new mysterious villain is introduced who seems intent on destroying it.

When some very creepy things start happening around school, the kids at Herrington High make the chilling discovery that confirms their worst suspicions: their teachers really are from another planet!
