 SEASON 2, EPISODE 1 THE DOORWAY TO HELL A quiet evening at the store is disrupted when Lewis Vendredi begins speaking to Jack from a cracked mirror. After Micki explains that the mirror had been one of Lewis' personal possessions, Jack begins to understand why Lewis appeared to him Apparently, Lewis dabbled in the occult and it is believed that mirrors which witness occult ceremonies become windows to the Realm of Darkness- a mysterious dimension between the world and Hell itself. As they investigate the mirror, a shard of glass is loosened, revealing a deed to a house outside the city. While Jack takes the shard of glass to Rashid (Elias Zarou), a friend and occult expert, Micki and Ryan head for the deserted house, unaware that it is being used as a secret hideout by two dangerous criminals who take them prisoner after they arrive. To make matters worse, Lewis takes over the body of one of the criminals to pursue a diabolical plot. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
