The series follows Detective Nick Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli), a homicide detective with the Portland Police Department. Nick is a Grimm, a descendant of a line of hunters tasked with keeping the balance between humans and the creatures of the night, known as "Wesen." These creatures are inspired by mythology, folklore, and fairy tales from around the world.
