 SEASON 1, EPISODE 1 THE INHERITANCE Cousins Ryan Dallion (John D. LeMay) and Micki Foster (Louise Robey) inherit an antique store from a long-lost uncle. Inspecting the property, Micki is dismayed by its dilapidated condition, while Ryan delights in the challenge of rebuilding. Before long, Micki's will prevails and the contents of the shop go up for sale. The items sell quickly, but Jack Marshak (Chris Wiggins), a former supplier to their uncle, shows up and leads them to an astonishing discovery-- a manifest that reveals their uncle's dealings with the devil. Every antique sold carries a deadly curse, and the horrified trio soon realize they must retrieve each and every item sold before its too late. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
