Jesse Parker (Sam Page) rescues a mysterious girl during a storm in the beach community of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. The girl is Christina Nickson (Elisabeth Harnois) with supernatural powers who is born to The Dark One and an innocent woman. Christina is uncertain of her origins and is searching for her mother. Judy Kramer (Aubrey Dollar) befriends Christina and her parents (Susan Walters, Richard Burgi) take her in still suffering from the death of their daughter Isabelle. Christina's powers pulls in Jesse and threatens his girlfriend Paula Hargrove (Cameron Richardson). The Dark One's minion Lucas Boyd (Grant Show) arrives in town to watch over Christina.
The show starts out with an interesting premise. It reveals way too much too early. Instead of revealing the story little by little, it dumps everything right away and struggles to move on. It also becomes too soapy with too many characters. It needs to settle down to a few core characters in a group around Christina. It also has clashing tones. Sometimes it has the Gothic religious overtones. Then it's beautiful girls in bikinis with teen drama. I also wonder if the show should lessen the adult stories and concentrate on Christina and the teen characters.
