Susan Reinhardt is investigating the highly suspicious death of Daniel Hope - whose sister Jules is serving a prison term for fraud. Widowed David Murdoch, an officer at the jail where Jules is held, receives a cryptic phone call, saying that his surly daughter Lucy has been abducted and will be harmed unless he delivers Jules to a Manchester address.

Contents.Plot outline The series is set in, several years after it has been apparently abandoned. In his absence, Oracle and the Huntress have taken over his war on crime. The two are joined by Dinah Redmond, a telepath (after she assists them in defeating Larry Ketterly); Alfred Pennyworth, who serves Helena as she is heir to the Wayne estate; and Detective Jesse Reese, a police officer confronted with crimes and abilities he cannot explain.A central feature of the series is the concept of: individuals born with powers that cannot be explained. No two metahumans have the same abilities (unless hereditary), and there exists a whole subculture of metahuman society that the outside world knows nothing about.Detective Reese reluctantly teams up with Huntress and the other Birds of Prey to defeat metahuman criminals.

At first, he disapproves of Helena's vigilantism, even trying to arrest her, but eventually he realizes there is a need for the Birds of Prey to take down criminals the police cannot handle.During the course of the show, the Birds of Prey often confront schemes masterminded by Dr. Harleen Quinzel , though they are unaware of her involvement until the final episode of the series.

Quinzel's attempts to discover what Helena is hiding, and the duplicitous nature of their therapy sessions together, form a large part of the series arc, beginning in the pilot episode and being resolved in the series finale.
