Sookie Stackhouse finds herself in an unexpected situation during what was supposed to be a simple weekend trip to Mississippi with her vampire friend Pam. Their getaway takes a dramatic turn when they end up trapped in a questionable gentleman's club. To escape safely, Sookie must do something completely outside her comfort zone: perform on stage with a pole while wearing almost nothing. Meanwhile, across the ocean, a demon's peaceful Paris vacation gets ruined when he's suddenly banished to another dimension, launching him on a wild journey hopping between planes across Europe. Elsewhere, Cat and Bones discover that protecting a wealthy heiress from supernatural assassins makes for anything but a relaxing holiday, especially when Cat's mother arrives to complicate matters further. These stories reveal that even supernatural beings need breaks from their routines, though their vacations rarely go according to plan.
