Detective Victor Jameson is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a rising number of mysterious disappearances. The oddities in these cases begin to stack up, as otherworldly creatures run amok just on the outskirts of human perception. Circumstances find Jameson teaming up with a young boy, and a tough as nails diner waitress, in an attempt to stop the monsters, and ultimately, the cosmic being that commands them.

SYNOPSIS:

I envisioned Jakob's Cove as a dark detective-style noir mystery that quickly turns into a gritty supernatural horror/mystery show that ultimately culminates in horrific Lovecraftian fashion. I imagined it to be non-stop filler free, badass horror, mystery and suspense. Not shying away from showing the bloody violence and terror that plagues the town, but also not afraid to be fun with humor, albeit sometimes dark, peppered throughout, and always leaving the viewer craving the next episode. I wanted to share a little about the overall feel of the show and the three main characters to help get the vibe. Think of the show as a crazy hybrid of The X-Files and Supernatural, but with much more blood, and the soundtrack style of Stranger Things or It Follows, 80's synthesizer and all.

Our main character is Detective Victor Jameson. His overall look is that of a classic 1950's detective. Always sharply dressed in a suit with a long overcoat, his fedora pulled low over his eyes, and rarely without a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Charley is a tall, tough blonde in her mid-twenties. She is sort of a tomboy, always ready to push up the sleeves of her flannel shirt and get her hands dirty. And then we have Elliot. The nerdy, awkward, hilarious loud mouth, who is the only one in the world who doesn't think that he's awkward. He is twelve or thirteen years old, has shaggy brown hair, and always has some obscure or weird little fact to share with Jameson and Charley. Jakob's Cove itself is a sleepy little seaside town, where it's always misty or raining, and has an overall unsettling feel. Some of the monsters and creatures that show up throughout the show are vampires, aliens, werewolves, zombies, demons, and a plethora of various urban legends. (A half man half alligator anyone?
