Unaired Pilot

Kevin Foster is a 17-year-old runaway who arrives in the coastal resort town of Dante's Cove to get away from his abusive and homophobic parents and live with his lover Toby, who lives in a boarding house, called Hotel Dante, which is rumored to be haunted. Kevin becomes acquainted with most of the residents of the predominately gay/lesbian community of the town, including Toby's best friend Van, a lesbian artist researching the town's history. One evening, Kevin finds a locked room in the basement of the boarding house which leads to a cavern lair. In the lair he finds, and inadvertently frees, a 160-year-old evil sorcerer, named Ambrosius Vallin, imprisoned by his vengeful fiancée Grace, an equally powerful sorceress. Ambrosius plans to make Kevin his lover for all eternity since he is the one who freed him. But Grace has other plans, having kept her eyes on Ambrosius for the last century. She decides not to let Ambrosius get away and return him to his personal dungeon and soon... war is about to break out between two very different evil beings in Dante's Cove.

Then There Was Darkness

Having been freed from his imprisoned cell, the evil sorcerer Ambrosius Vallin retains corporeal existence from Kevin's blood and sets up a lair underneath the Dante's Cove lighthouse where he continues to use his powers to call upon Kevin. But when Ambrosious' former fiancée, Grace, too enters corporeal existence, she attempts to break up the union with her own black magic. When Grace uses magic to kill Kevin while he's recovering in the hospital, Ambrosious retaliates by imprisoning her in the bowels beneath Hotel Dante, and uses the darkest magic to resurrect Kevin to make him his companion for all eternity. Meanwhile, Toby and Van try to find out what is going on due to the weirdness of Kevin's death and mysterious resurrection, and try to find leads which Ambrosious tries to prevent them from finding out his connection to Kevin.
