本剧改编自作家、科学编辑兼广告撰稿人邦妮·加默斯的同名小说。 　　故事发生在1950年代早期，当时的社会普遍认为女性属于家庭而非职业领域。Elizabeth Zott（布丽·拉尔森 Brie Larson 饰）渴望在一个由男性主导的世界里成为一名科学家。她就职于一 家实验室，是知名科学家Calvin Evans（刘易斯·普尔曼 Lewis Pullman 饰）的助手，两人之间有着非同寻常的化学反应。然而，随着Elizabeth发现自己怀有身孕、孤身一人，还被实验室开除，她搁置了自己的梦想，同时也被激发出了单身母亲独有的聪明才智。Elizabeth接受了一份在电视烹饪节目当主持人的工作，并开始教导一个国家被忽视的家庭主妇们和那些突然用心倾听的男性很多食谱之外的知识，也一直渴望着回到自己真正喜爱的领域：科学。

自从阿伯拉罕（Kris Kristofferson 饰）被吸血鬼带走，日行者刀锋（韦斯利•斯奈普斯 Wesley Snipes 饰）就没有停止寻找这位父亲一样的老搭档，并终于在东欧将其救出。阿伯拉罕缺席的日子里，刀锋依靠新伙伴斯加德担任后勤支持。　　不久吸血鬼长老派人传递停战协议，只因吸血鬼中出现了新的变种——收割者，收割者同时以人类和吸血鬼为食，而且由于过快的新陈代谢导致他们需求惊人。刀锋为保全人类同意带领由长老之女内纱（Leonor Varela 饰）、雪人（甄子丹 饰）等组成的吸血鬼血帮部队，消灭收割者，但岂料这一切是吸血鬼的阴谋……

High in the hills, among the last remnants of Hollywood's golden age, Tod, 24 - and his sister Lani, 22 - live a breezy and charmed life in the sprawling mansion of their grandmother Judy, a former movie star now relegated to hosting a dying home shopping show. Tod's carefree and narcissistic existence takes a dark turn when he accidentally (perhaps) shoots Judy, killing her instantly. Desperate to maintain his decadent lifestyle, Tod hatches a diabolical plan to cover-up his Grandma's death, keep her show rolling, and keep the money flowing. After seducing Barb, Judy's producer, Tod convinces her to allow Lani to host the show in Judy's "absence." The ploy works, and the ratings go up. Tod kicks his cover-up into high gear - he turns his attention to Jacob (25), the mansion's handyman, who also happens to be his sister's boy toy. Jacob is the one person that can help Tod put the finishing touches on his evil opus. Surviving a long string of close shaves, Tod manages to outwit everyone,...

A young woman is found unconscious in a city street - claims to be another person who was brutally murdered two months earlier - escapes from a psychiatric hospital in order to prove her identity and find the truth about her life, her death, and her murderer.
