9	The show kicks off following Amy, a young bowling alley employee who has recently been seeing a psychiatrist on the grounds of seeing strange things. Things take soon take a turn when she meets [[{{Deuteragonist}} Raquel]] who informs her that she is a seer - someone who can see demon-possessed humans walking amongst ordinary people.

13	!! This show provides examples of:
14
15	* AmbiguouslyBi: Amy is shown as this throughout the series. Comes to a head when she [[spoiler: kisses Raquel in the final episode.]] She denies it whenever it's brought up.
16	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Averted. Most demons are shown as incredibly violent and destructive for the sake of violence. However, demons show quite the nurturing side to their children as seen in Mercy and [[spoiler: Sawyer]]. Harry also starts to show this [[spoiler: after he falls in love with Raquel.]]
17	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Suzanne]], thanks to Raquel [[spoiler:serving as a bridge between worlds]].
18	* BadBoss: Callum, given his propensity for battering his henchmen.
19	* BigBad: Callum serves as this, particularly concerning Raquel.
20	* BlatantLies: In a show where not everyone is [[{{TheMasquerade}} aware of the supernatural]], these are abound.
21	* BookEnds: The series starts with Amy pissing on her friend who was recently possessed. It ends with her [[spoiler: pissing on Jake as he's been possessed as well.]]
22	* ByTheEyesOfTheBlind: Only Seers can see demons - responsible for the premise of the show.
23	* CameBackWrong:[[spoiler:Suzanne]] does this, much to the dismay of Amy.
24	* DemonicPossession: Naturally, given the premise of the show.
25	* DoingResearch: Whenever a problem arises, Raquel takes to the {{Internet}} for answers.
26	* TheDragon: [[{{IronicName}} Mercy]] is this to Callum.
27	* GlamourFailure: All demons to Seers.
28	* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Raquel]] reveals that she is this after [[spoiler:her father]] dies.
29	* HollywoodExorcism: Complete with {{Ritual Magic}}. Unusually, it seems to also [[spoiler:result in the death of the host]].
30	* InLoveWithTheMark: Harry is this despite [[spoiler: working with Callum to use Raquel as a portal to hell.]]
31	* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Suzanne]] survives her fall and shows up at the end of episode six with her head sewn back on.
32	* OminousLatinChanting: Accompanies the show's {{Ritual Magic}}
33	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Jake's list of potential party-goers includes two Petes and several Simons.
34	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: So far, demons have only appeared while possessing humans. Only [[spoiler:Raquel's father]] is seen to have any sort of supernatural powers otherwise. Oddly enough, it seems that exorcism [[spoiler:leaves the host dead as well]], though that may be due to Amy and Raquel's inexperience.
35	* PowerIncontinence: When Raquel is upset, she causes electrical appliances to go crazy.
36	* RitualMagic: How the show's {{Hollywood Exorcism}}s are performed.
37	* RunOrDie: What [[spoiler: Raquel's father]] urges his daughter to do if Callum or his henchmen ever come after her.
