All those things in the shadows, all the monsters that live under the bed, all the nightmares you have ever had are real. They exist in a world next to our own and are desperate to break through. Clair Lafleaur is a contractor - a hunter of these beasts that can freely move between the two worlds. When she is fulfilling one of her contracts, she embraces her supernatural abilities, dawning the name Nightshade and making sure the proper order is maintained. All with a little bit of attitude.
