Clary (Lily Collins, Phil Collins’ daughter), a pretty simple girl, unexpectedly starts seeing vampires and shadows, her neighbor turns out to be a witch, and a family friend turns out to be a werewolf. And on her birthday the girl meets a mysterious angelic-looking guy named Jace (Jamie Campbell Bauer), who kills a demoniac before her eyes. The next morning, her mother Jocelyn (Lena Heady) mysteriously disappears, and the main demon (Kevin Duran) searches their apartment for some kind of magical goblet. The reason for such tumultuous otherworldly interference turns out to be that she is part of an ancient, mysterious order Jamie Campbell Bower band of Shadowhunters – warrior-half-angels who protect our world from demons. Now she has to adapt to life in a world filled with magic and danger, and in between she has to save her mother, who is hiding an artifact important to the universe.
