After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt uncovers a surprising family secret, he learns that he is descended from a prestigious family line of criminal profilers called "Grimms." This revelation introduces a new dimension to his understanding of the supernatural and his own identity. The Grimms have a long history of balancing the human world with the unseen supernatural forces that threaten it.
As Nick becomes more aware of his heritage, he begins to experience heightened senses and deeper insights into the dark secrets behind various crimes. This new awareness often places him in conflicting situations where his duties as a police detective clash with his emerging responsibilities as a Grimm. He must navigate the complex and dangerous world of mythic creatures while satisfying his obligations to the law and justice.
The role of a Grimm involves not only investigating crimes but also protecting innocent people from supernatural entities. These entities include Wesen, creatures that appear human but possess extraordinary abilities and often have a hidden agenda. Navigating relationships with both his human colleagues and supernatural allies becomes a delicate balancing act for Nick, as he strives to maintain order in his personal and professional life.
Throughout the series, Nick faces numerous challenges that test his resolve and morality. He learns to harness his new powers and develops alliances with other Wesen and supernatural beings, all while unraveling a larger conspiracy that threatens his city and the world at large. His journey is marked by constant conflict between his ingrained sense of justice and the responsibilities that come with his inherited powers.
Ultimately, the story of Grimm is about self-discovery and the ongoing struggle to reconcile two worlds—human and supernatural. Nick must learn to accept his dual identity and find a way to protect both realms while staying true to his principles. The series explores themes of family, duty, and the complexity of good versus evil, making it a compelling narrative about embracing one's destiny in the face of extraordinary challenges.
