Loosely based on the 1960's Series "Dark Shadows," "Shadows of the City" is set in Long Beach, California, and follows the journey of 22 yr old Robyn Summers, an orphan from New Orleans.  One-day, Robyn is called from her Cajun roots to be Governess of a 9 year-old boy name Christian, the youngest member of the wealthiest family in Long Beach, the Dubois.

Long Beach sits at the Southern tip of Port Angeles in Southern California.  The Dubois Family has owned Port Angeles’ shipping and freighting companies for nearly five generations.  From its small fishing and shipping roots, a city by the sea has sprung up around the family, and the few members that are left have retreated to their hilltop home, Longhill, a French Gothic Estate.  The family’s Matriarch Renee’ Dubois has rarely left the Estate since her beautiful daughter Ghislaine was born…that was 20 years ago and now Ghislaine is a student at Long Beach City College.

When Renee’s Aristocrat brother Sean, and his troubled son Christian return to Longhill, family secrets are confronted and stretch far beyond mere mortal comprehension.

"Shadows of The City" airs Weds. @ 2pm & 9pm PST!
