Three students of Drifters Ridge High, all marred by varying circumstances, are brought together by a club dedicated to investigating the strange occurrences of their small, superstitious hometown. Kavir, the somewhat socially ostracized paranormal fanatic, Sam, the quirky ex-theatre kid, and Justin, one of the school’s top dogs, aren’t exactly what you’d call fast friends. However, as they go around solving the mysteries brought to them by various classmates and even faculty, they begin to realize that they might all need each other more than they think… and they start to think that maybe all of Drifters Ridge, NJ might need them too.

While we're in our off-season, we're bringing you bonus from our friends Battle Cry! The pilot is called "The Fighter".

After the death of their close friend, fighters 13, 21, and 30 work hard to figure out how to make their grand escape. Between a sadistic arena master, relentless bounty hunter, and demonic guards, their options are limited. However, the arrival of a magic user, showman 42, could give them the edge they're looking for.

Deep below the surface of a hidden realm, humans are enslaved and forced to fight against beasts of myth and legend. Stripped of their names, these unwilling combatants have no choice but to kill to survive, all for the entertainment of a bloodthirsty audience. However, the seeds of rebellion are taking root, and one determined party of misfits will claw their way to freedom, or be crushed in the process.
