PLOT SUMMARY

Dr John Cornelius is a criminal psychologist with an interest in investigating strange cases. Assisted by his partner Samantha Valentine, he becomes involved with some truly bizarre cases involving vampires, virtual reality and magic.

A strange and largely unloved show that sat uncomfortable somewhere between the camp of The Avengers (1960 - 1969) and the dark fantasy of The X-Files (1993-2002). The cast give it their best shot but the show never really seemed to make up its mind what it wanted to be and its unfriendly timeslot (it was shown on a Friday night during the summer months) assured that it wouldn't be renewed and would soon slip into obscurity.
