Roommates Aidan, Sally, Josh, and Nora share one big thing in common: they are all supernatural beings (a vampire, ghost, and two werewolves, respectively). Through each other, the foursome navigate the murky waters of being not-quite-human in an already complex world.
The fifth season of Being Human continues to follow housemates Hal, Tom, and Alex as they contend with the problems of living with fellow non-humans (Hal is a vampire; Tom a werewolf; Alex a ghost). In addition, a newly recruited vampire with a volatile temper and a sinister government agent make their lives even more difficult. Of course, the gang still has bills to pay, and elect to take on a job at Barry's kitschy hotel where, unbeknownst to them, lives an evil the likes of which they've never known.
