PSI Story Synopses

Maxwell's Demon: Maxwell Reese, a petty thief living in the Washington D.C. area, thinks he's hit the jackpot when he inadvertently releases a djinni that offers its powers in the man's service. Team Beta Psi Sigma, still in probationary training, are paired up with a veteran agent experienced with Middle Eastern monsters to effectively handle the threat. Following the trail of chaos caused by Reese and the djinni, they must stop the demon before his powers grow too great.

Predators: A pair of brutal slayings in the New Mexico desert are believed to be caused by a feral chupacabra. The team is sent in to investigate, discovering much more than the legendary beast. A military science facility, so secure it avoided detection by the PSI, has been conducting extensive genetic research on animals, cryptids, and humans in an effort to create the perfect killing machine... and to keep their research a secret, they intend to test their creations on the agents.

Dark Arts: A bizarre, seemingly supernatural murder at a comic shop in San Francisco brings the team out to determine the cause. After another strange death at an art gallery, they find that both victims were in possession of original art drawn by a manga-ka who specializes in violent, pornographic horror - drawings that depict scenes incredibly similar to the murders. Further investigation reveals that he was suspected of similar murders in Japan before emigrating to the US, but there was no concrete evidence to convict him. Is the artist using his creations to kill? And how many more drawings has he distributed to potential victims?

(Untitled): The disappearance of workers near a geothermal plant in Alaska draws the PSI's attention when a witness claims that one of the missing people was dragged into the ground by a "giant tentacle". The team heads north, braving unseasonably frigid conditions, a hostile milita group, and Eldrich horrors lurking beneath the frozen ground.

Heart of Stone: Tobias Kane, computer magnate and collector of supernatural artifacts, has just acquired another rare treasure - a set of perfectly preserved fossilized basilisk eggs. At least the seller assumed they were only fossils. The eggs hatch, releasing the deadly serpents throughout his mansion. Making the situation worse, some have escaped the home and made their way for the neighboring town. After Kane is bitten, he calls on his old friend Constantine Pendragon for assistance. Pendragon sends the team off to capture the basilisks and obtain some of their venom in order to create an antidote before their victims suffer a petrifying death.

Where the Wild Things Are: The impact of a hurricane near the Florida Everglades has forced several Skunk Apes to seek new shelter. Unfortunately, they're spotted by humans as they attempt to relocate. The sightings bring swarms of tourists and paranormal afficionados down to the swamp, including some rather ruthless cryptozoologists determined to find the creatures and bring them in, dead or alive, as proof of the existence of the paranormal. The team and Constantine traverse the swamp to protect the gentle beasts from being harmed or exposed, all the while contending with the traps and brutal actions of the more aggressive hunters.

Blood Feud: A retired PSI agent is murdered in Boston, completely exsanguinated. Coming on the trail of a string of attacks where the perp attempted to draw blood, it's clear that a rogue vampire is causing trouble. The team tries to locate the killer, but they find it to be a much more daunting task. Fatal traps and hired hitmen plague them with almost every lead they follow. The vampire they're hunting has a strong grudge against the PSI, and intends to slaughter as many of its members as she can.

Shadowplay: A woman's claim that she was raped by a figure in black who then disappeared seems like tabloid fodder, but to the PSI it's a serious lead. Investigating the St. Louis theater where the attack took place, they learn of several accidents that recently took place, with some witnesses claiming they saw moving shadows that belonged to people who weren't there. The investigation is hampered, though, by an overzealous demon hunter obsessed with eliminating supernatural menaces, a hunter who won't think twice about taking out the team if he feels they're in his way.

(Untitled): The murder of an attorney in San Antonio draws the team's attention when witnesses say the killer jumped more than 100 feet to the ground and walked off without a scratch. Looking into the victim's life, they find he was looking at disbarment for withholding evidence and manipulating witnesses in his cases. The superhuman murderer soon claims a second victim, an ex-police officer thrown off the force for allegations of brutality. A connection is quickly discovered between the two; both were involved in a case that sent an innocent man to prison for 15 years. Is this man, now freed, seeking vengeance for his wrongful incarceration? Or is there another vigilante using supernatural means to achieve his own brand of harsh justice?

Music of the Spheres: More than 4000 years ago, a great cataclysm wiped out the civilization of Mohenjo-Daro. Today, an organization of rogue psychics plans to recreate this disaster. Under the leadership of a charismatic, sociopathic psychic, they have been committing violent robberies in many countries, stealing ancient relics that some scholars believe may compose an advanced piece of ancient technology. The leader of this terrorist group wants to use the power of these relics to demonstrate the superiority of psychics over normal humans, using their devastating power to force the world into submission. The PSI is in a race against time to stop this madman and his followers before the destructive power of the machine is unleashed.

The Monsters Among Us: The brutal murder of a family of lycanthropes bring the team to a rural Illinois town with a sizable population of werewolves living in secret among their human neighbors. The slaying has shaken up the community; some are fearful that they've been uncovered and are being hunted down, and a group of radical lycanthropes are latching onto this paranoia by promoting an uprising to protect themselves. Complicating matters is the return of demon hunter Gideon Wagner, a man known for his prejudice against supernatural beings and violent nature. Tension is rising, and if the team doesn't catch the killer, it threatens to boil over into full-blown war.

Plague Rats: A strange disease is spreading among the paranormal community of Philadelphia. While to supernatural creatures it has the impact of a mild flu, problems arise when it mysteriously spreads to humans. Normal people infected begin to gain uncontrollable powers or mutate into violent monsters, frequently with fatal results. Jasmine, Kevin, Rebecca and David are dispatched to control the chaos in the city while Danielle travels between planes of existence to the land of Tir na nOg in search of a cure. This mystic land holds danger, though, as the malevolent Unseelie who unleashed the disease are determined to keep the cure from reaching our world.
