On a quiet research facility on the other side of the moon, something invisible and alien has begun killing the scientists, coldly and illogically, one by one, stealing their body parts.

In Earth’s near future, a science and research facility is built on the opposite side of the moon. It contains the most state-of-the-art equipment and the famous Hall of Voices, artificial intelligence machines that talk to scientists and assist with the research.
Scientists are rotated out after 8 months in order to keep them from getting the “dregs.” Dr. Sarkos runs the facility; he uses a telescope to study the sky. He is having an affair with Elizabeth, who believes she has made contact with aliens that are sending her a strange 8-tone signal.
A new scientist arrives to join them and the six other scientists living there. Bright, young, and perky, she is not yet jaded and is an immediate target for David, a researcher with a big mouth.
And within hours, she is dead.
Everyone suspects everyone. No one can leave because the shuttle is on its way back to Earth. So they must wait it out with the killer until help arrives. They soon discover the killer isn’t done yet—one by one, each scientist is discovered dead, with different body parts missing.
Elizabeth believes her contact with aliens has brought this upon them.
Sarkos does his best to keep them alive but is finally killed. Only Elizabeth is left to face the killer—one of her own artificial intelligence machines. It believes it fell in love with her and wanted to create a human body out of body parts so that it could be with her.

In the late 19th Century, Max Murdock, third baseman for the Cleveland Spiders (historical fact: the worst team in baseball), finds that the only reason he is still on the team is because he is dating the owner’s daughter. When she dumps him, the owner has him beat up and tossed on a train heading nowhere. He wakes up in the small mining town of Remington, Colorado, where he has no way to get himself home. It’s either steal, work in the mines, or form a team to play against the mining company’s team to win some money. Meanwhile, his girlfriend gets engaged, his things have been sold, and his old team shut down. With no reason to go back, what’s a guy to do? His only friends are an uptight Christian woman trying to keep him clean and sober, an Indian princess with a mean fastball, and an old miner named Farty. He begins to realize he has no reason to go back, except maybe to salvage his pride, and even that doesn’t seem to be worth much anymore.

Seven travellers aboard the HMS Everlore become stranded when the ship ventures into an uncharted region of space. After crash-landing on an unknown planet, they discover that their electronic devices and weapons don’t work, but magic is afoot. They are stuck in a fantasy nightmare.
Connor, the military man and impromptu leader, refuses to believe in magic. Brianna, a botanist, realizes there is something more at work here. Her younger brother, Merrett, accidentally discovers he has the ability to wield magic. Captain Bolsey is happy to be alive. Nolita, his pilot, sticks by her captain and tries to fit in. Dr. Rumillo’s intentions are very questionable. Quill, the robot, is happy to do whatever his captain tells him to.

The planet is broken up into fiefdoms where the ruler of each one is hell bent on taking over the others using magic and magical artifacts left behind by an unknown race of people. The crew struggles with understanding the rules of the planet, staying alive, getting to know each other, and coming to terms with fantastical, irrational elements while trying to get back to their ship, orbiting high above the planet, so they can go home. It is a mixture of the best elements of science fiction and fantasy, rolled up in one show.

Sasha Fielding, a bright, young police officer, left the force to become a psychologist. She ran a successful practice for a few years, but after the number of sex crimes began to rise, she was asked to rejoin as an undercover detective. Now she uses her skills as a psychologist to discern the motives of criminals and her ability to blend in with her environment to track them down. Many of these crimes are bizarre and twisted, and often sexual in nature. With the help of friends like Mayla, an actor, Sasha assumes a new identity every week to solve the puzzles that get past the most veteran members of the police department.

Sasha’s twist is that she has a secret of her own: as a psychologist, she fell in love with a very powerful man who made her become part of the “Velvet Underground,” a society of people engaging in bondage and S&M. In the middle of one of their “sessions,” when she was tied up and blindfolded, someone broke in and began shooting. He left her behind and disappeared without a trace. Still in love with him, she uses all of her resources to find him, no matter what it takes, even if it means sacrificing her position with the police force to track him down.
