When Sam gets his letter to Stanford, Dean sides with him, leaving their father and hunting behind. The boys' first hurdle to overcome is when the Impala breaks down in Long Beach California, stranding them. The timely arrival of one Evan Lorne helps to get them on their feet and ready for a new life.
Walking the straight and narrow, Dean tries out for the LA County lifeguards but doesn't make it. Before he can leave the beach, medevac helicopter pilot and part time lifeguard John Sheppard recruits him into training to become an EMT.
At the end of the three months probation, Dean transfers to Engine 14 in San Jose - a half hour's drive from Stanford, where Sam is starting his first year. It's in San Jose that Dean completes the second phase of his training to become a full Paramedic.
For the next couple of years, with Sam barreling through Stanford and Dean doing a job he's not only good at, but content with, they settle down to live ordinary lives.
If you don't count the demon Dean exorcised in front of a baker's dozen cops and witnesses one hot summer night.
But as 2004 roars to a close, strange and terrible things begin to happen, threatening everything Sam and Dean have built for themselves.
Confessing all, the boys are surprised as John, Evan and a small group of loyal friends stand beside them, ready to fight. Reunited with their father and Bobby, Dean and Sam are gonna need all the help they can get.
You see, the creature that started it all by killing Mary Winchester is coming for Sam.
And Hell's coming with him.
