Episodes - 1x01 -Storm FrontLoglineHarry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne) is a wizard — the only one in the Chicago phone book. Synopsis When a local gangster and his girlfriend are found dead, their hearts literally exploded through their chests, local police are baffled. There's no natural explanation for the gruesome crime scene — no forced entry, no sign of struggle, and no evidence that there was anyone in the room aside from the victims. That's when Chicago P.D. Lt. Connie Murphy calls upon the special services of sometime police consultant Harry Dresden, Wizard. Not one to buy into any "magic" nonsense, the by-the-book Murphy knows one undeniable thing about Dresden — whatever his methods, he always delivers results. Harry, who could use the paycheck, is happy for the work. However, when he visits the crime scene, it becomes crystal clear that the only possible explanation for what he's seeing is black magic. He turns down the case. Harry knows that the only way he would be able to solve it would be to delve into the same dark arts that were used to perpetrate the crime ? and if he did so, the High Council that governs the realm of magic would shut him down ? permanently. While the police assume that the gangster was the prime target, Harry is convinced that the girlfriend is the key. His investigation uncovers a trail of intrigue that leads to three other murders, an encounter with the seductively lethal vampire Bianca, recurring battles with a fire-breathing demon, and a desperately futile attempt to go on a simple date with his lady friend, Susan, a local news reporter with a dangerous penchant for finding trouble.
