Wracked with guilt for centuries of killing others, he seeks redemption by working as a homicide detective on the night shift while struggling to find a way to become human again.

Unbeknownst to most of his colleagues, Nick is actually Nicholas, an 800-year-old vampire (his human surname was reference to his status as a literal knight in medieval France).

Nick's ultimate dream is to find a way to become human once again, but his quest for redemption is complicated by the arrival of fellow vampires Lucien LaCroix and Janette DuCharme.

Although Nick continues to protect the "innocent" civilians, he faces circumstances that risk the exposure of the vampire community who, up until this time, were unknown to other humans.

We do not see what LaCroix does, but we hear him say, "Damn you, Nicholas," in stress and frustration, and the scene cuts out to the building where Nick lives and a shot of the sun rising.

The ending is left to the viewers' interpretation, but the implication is that Nick dies with LaCroix's help, hoping to join Natalie in an afterlife.

Vampires in the Forever Knight universe display the powers of super strength and speed, enhanced senses, flight and a degree of hypnotism/mind control.
