2004
Kevin Foster is a 17-year-old runaway who arrives in the coastal resort town of Dante's Cove to get away from his abusive and homophobic parents and live with his lover Toby, who lives in a boarding house, called Hotel Dante, which is rumored to be haunted. Kevin becomes acquainted with most of the residents of the predominately gay/lesbian community of the town, including Toby's best friend Van, a lesbian artist researching the town's history. One evening, Kevin finds a locked room in the basement of the boarding house which leads to a cavern lair. In the lair he finds, and inadvertently frees, a 160-year-old evil sorcerer, named Ambrosius Vallin, imprisoned by his vengeful fiancée Grace, an equally powerful sorceress. Ambrosius plans to make Kevin his lover for all eternity since he is the one who freed him. But Grace has other plans, having kept her eyes on Ambrosius for the last century. She decides not to let Ambrosius get away and return him to his personal dungeon and soon... war is about to break out between two very different evil beings in Dante's Cove.

Grace identifies the so-called House of Shadows as the evil entity in Dante's Cove and she seeks the help of Adam who has flashback drug-induced visions of what is to come and who the evil is host to. But with the star-flower weed missing, Grace is forced to venture to The Lair gay sex club to find more of the magical flower. Meanwhile, Ambrosius finally learns that Kevin is stealing his powers and he approaches Griffen for help to regain his powers, which Griffen teaches him to by feeding off the sexual energy of male conquests at the Lair, which is run by the shady Tom. Elsewhere, Brit finds a mysterious treasure chest on the bottom of the bay which was apparently the secret prison of the House of Shadows entity. Toby and Adam throw a birthday party for Trevor, while both of them become at odds with one another over Toby's continuing vision of Kevin, and Adam's suppressed drug addiction. Griffen offers to help Grace find the evil entity, but only if she swears herself over to the Tresum Council and to himself.
