Episodes - 1x00 - Series Synopsis
Think you understand how the world works? Get
schooled with The Dresden Files, a supernatural
detective series based on the best-selling novels of Jim Butcher.
The Dresden Files tells the story of Harry Dresden
(Paul Blackthorne), a regular guy with an irregular
life — he's a wizard, a practitioner of magic who
uses his unique abilities to solve the cases that come
through his Chicago storefront office; call it the next
evolution in forensics.
Harry lives in the same work-a-day world we live in,
but he can also operate in the world of the supernatural,
the metaphysical, and the unexplainable. Dresden unravels
otherworldly schemes and crimes and does battle with the
forces of darkness, all while keeping his true activities
veiled from Lt. Connie Murphy (Valerie Cruz) of the
Chicago Police Department.
The governing body that supervises wizards is called the
High Council. The Council enforces the rules and makes
certain that nobody in the mundane world ever knows what's
going on in the supernatural world. In Chicago, the
Council's Warden is Morgan (Conrad Coates). Morgan is
Harry's probation officer. Three years ago Harry used
black magic to kill his uncle Justin Morningway. The
Council ruled that Harry did it in self-defense, but
Morgan suspects otherwise. He would be only too happy
to catch Harry in another transgression.
Dresden's confidante and adviser on all things magical
is Bob (Terrence Mann). Bob was a medieval wizard who
took up the dark arts but went too far. He was caught
and killed by the Wardens, who then bound his soul
into eternal servitude as punishment. Bob haunts Harry's
apartment, hoping for a chance to regain his corporeal
self — or at least get out for a walk in the park once
in a while.
Through it all, Harry Dresden retains his wry, sardonic
view of both the natural and supernatural worlds. If you
ever need his special kind of detective skills, you can
find him listed in the phone book. For $500 a day, with
a two-day minimum, he'll take your case and bring it to
a successful conclusion.
Just don't ask him how he does it.
