Synopsis
Adam Binder opened a portal that sent his druid great-grandfather John into the underworld, but it also trapped his boyfriend Vic, a reaper, and his cousin Jodi there. Adam sets out to bring them back, along with a living woman named Melody, and gets help from his brother Bobby and the elf Vran. On the way he meets the ghost of his father, who turns out to be different from the villain Adam remembers. Meanwhile Vic and Jodi escape demons and are drawn into a cult of the dead. The groups must come together to stop John and repair the harm the living have done in the underworld.
