## Season Summary

Protagonist Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) is an average teenager suffering from asthma and living with his single mother in Beacon Hills. One night, he and his best friend Stiles Stilinski (Dylan O'Brien), the son of the local sheriff, Noah Stilinski (Linden Ashby), learn about half a corpse found by police in the woods. The two set out to find the other half, but Scott is attacked and bitten by a Werewolf. With his new-found lycanthropy, Scott gains supernatural abilities, such as enhanced strength, speed and heightened senses, enabling him to excel as the captain of his Beacon Hills High School lacrosse team. He gains respect from popular girl, Lydia Martin (Holland Roden), and the envy of her lacrosse-playing boyfriend Jackson Whittemore (Colton Haynes). Scott also develops a romantic relationship with school newcomer, Allison Argent (Crystal Reed); however, he soon discovers her father Chris Argent (JR Bourne) is a Werewolf Hunter.

Scott and Stiles meet Beta Werewolf Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin), whose family perished in a mysterious house fire six years ago. They uncover the second half of the missing corpse and discover it is Derek's sister, Laura Hale. He learns the Alpha Werewolf, the most powerful of all wolves, is on a murdering spree and was responsible for biting him. Realizing the consequences and dangers of his new life, he is forced to protect his peers and loved ones, including his girlfriend Allison, who struggles to find her place in their new world, torn between the Werewolf love of her life and her family's Hunter legacy.
