The main things you should know are here. But to summarize; the main character, Ichigo Kurosaki, starts off as a 15 year old japanese high-school student who has the unique ability to see the spirits of the deceased. One day he encounters the Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki, who is hunting a Hollow, a type of monstrous, malevolent spirit. When she is injured, she transfers her power to him so he can save the both of them and from then on, Ichigo becomes a "substitute Shinigami", tasked with slaying Hollows and helping spirits move on to Soul Society.

That pretty much covers the beginning and basic premise. Good enough, or do you want to know more?
