They come to him with problems that science and the law have failed to solve. Dr. Gates accepts cases involving magic, haunting, possessions, souls sold to the devil. Dr. Gates listens to their stories in his mansion and sets his price for his services, but not in money; a personal act of service is required. Only then does he act. Join Dr. Gates and his chronicler, Daniel Garfield, as they investigate a rock star who says he sold his soul, a haunted house in the deep woods, a hotel in the desert, and a terrible thing that has taken over a Wyoming town. Along the way they are joined by a cast of new friends who bond together to form a team, looking into the World Beyond, the Unknown and the strange and unknowable things that cross from there to here. The team investigates all of these weird places and finds that they are connected, and in the worst way.
