Quando sua madre si accompagna con un altro uomo, Bella decide di andare a vivere con il padre, nella piovosa cittadina di Forks. Non prevede che la sua vita possa subire dei grandi cambiamenti, prevede al massimo di adattarsi. Ma nel nuovo liceo incontra Edward Cullen, un ragazzo schivo, diverso da ogni altro. Edward ha 17 anni come lei, solo che ce li ha dal 1918. È un vampiro, che però ha scelto, insieme con la sua famiglia, di non bere sangue umano ma solo animale. Bella e Edward si innamorano perdutamente, ma l'odore di lei scatena la sete di James, un vampiro nemico e niente affatto vegetariano.
