Elena Gilbert e i suoi amici sono riusciti a salvare Fells Church dalle forze del male. Ma hanno domito pagare un caro prezzo: la morte di Damon. l'affascinante vampiro che ha lottato con tutte le forze contro suo fratello Stefan per conquistare il cuore dell'amata Elena. Ora Elena e Stefan sono finalmente insieme e nulla sembra poter ostacolare la loro felicità. Eppure Elena non riesce a dimenticare Damon, e di notte continua a sognarlo.

Stefano è salvo. Elena, col suo amore, è riuscita a portarlo via dall'inferno. Ma Damon è disperato. Un inspiegabile incantesimo lo ha reso umano e adesso è disposto a fare di tutto pur di tornare a essere un vampiro e riavere la donna che ama. Perfino a scendere ancora una volta negli abissi della Dimensione Oscura. Intanto a Fell's Church il male avanza: spiriti demoniaci hanno preso possesso della città. Matt e Meredith combattono con tutte le loro forze, ma presto capiranno che la fonte di quel terribile male è più vicina di quanto avrebbero mai potuto immaginare.

Con l'aiuto del tenebroso e affascinante Damon, Elena è riuscita a salvare il suo amore, Stefan, e a portarlo via dall'inferno, la Dimensione Oscura. Ma nessuno dei due fratelli vampiri è uscito illeso da questa terribile esperienza. Stefan è debole dopo la lunga prigionia, e ha bisogno di molto sangue. Più di quello che Elena può dargli. E Damon, per qualche inspiegabile incantesimo, è diventato umano. Disperato, è disposto a tutto pur di tornare a essere un vampiro. Perfino a scendere ancora una volta nei terrificanti abissi della Dimensione Oscura.

Elena è disposta a tutto pur di salvarlo, e al suo fianco c'è anche Damon, finalmente libero dal peso del suo passato.
