Synopsis
Supernatural tells the story of Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), two brothers who fight creatures that most people don't believe exist. The brothers lost their mother as children in a fire with supernatural elements. As a result, their father devoted his life to finding out what killed his wife, and seeking revenge. He brought his sons on the road with him, training them to fight evil. Sam left this life as a hunter in order to attend college at Stanford University, while Dean stayed with their father and helped with demon hunting. When their father suddenly disappears, Dean seeks Sam's assistance in finding him, and the brothers travel around the country in a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala paranormal events and other unexplained occurrences, many of them based on folklore, myths, and American urban legends, and others based on classic tales of supernatural creatures, such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts.
