| Tony Foster is a PA (production assistant) for CB productions in Vancouver where they're filming a semi-popular show called “Darkest Night”. Everything's fine until an actress dies and the crews' shadows start roaming the set. After another co-worker almost gets killed Tony confronts the only other person who seems to notice the shadows, the special effects director. Tony finds out Arra (the special effects director) is a wizard who fled her world to escape a conquering evil wizard, the Shadowlord. Tony enlists the help of Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of Henry the VIII, who as well as being a moderately successful historical romance writer is a vampire. Along with Arra, Tony and Henry commence hunting down the shadows that have come scouting through into the city. When the Shadowlord comes through Tony, Arra, and Henry must confront him on the set of “Darkest Night” and fight the shadow controlled crew. | ||
