Wizards of the moon called Loam are desperate to rid themselves of an eldritch djinn threatening their peaceful existence.

Isis and 10th Muse are thrust together and are forced to make a choice --- with the fate of an entire society hanging in the balance.

The Cape 
"The Cape" is a one-hour drama series starring David Lyons ("ER") as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, "Life on Mars") and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, "Flash Forward"). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Vince Faraday becomes "The Cape" - his son's favorite comic book superhero - and takes the law into his own hands.
