After hearing that Bill might be in danger, Sookie enlists the help of her best friend Tara Thornton to search for him.

Their search leads them to a vampire bar called Fangtasia, where they meet the cunning and dangerous vampire Eric Northman. Eric is the vampire sheriff of Area 5, which includes Bon Temps, and he has a reputation for being both powerful and cruel.

Back at Fangtasia, Sookie and Eric are hot on the trail of the thief. They track him down to a rundown house where he's hiding out with a group of other drug addicts. The confrontation that follows is both intense and violent, leaving Sookie and Eric injured and the thief dead.

After escaping from the house, Eric tells Sookie that he suspects Bill has been taken captive by a group of vampires called the "Rattrays." These two vampires have a grudge against Bill and are known for their brutal treatment of other vampires. Sookie and Eric head off to rescue Bill, but they soon discover that the situation is more complicated than they thought.
