It starts off with the basic premise of a police procedural show (the main character, Nick, is a homicide detective in Portland), but adds a unique fantasy/horror twist: creatures from fairy tales and folklore, like werewolves and witches, are actually real. Nick discovers that he is descended from a long line of Grimms, described as "an elite line of criminal profilers" that research, track down, and kill the fairy tale creatures, who call themselves Wesen.
