Young Jason Howe is a fresh-faced graduate from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, having completed the program in hopes of kickstarting a glamorous career as a federal agent for a big-name agency. However, the opportunity to fill in for a short-staffed agency for triple his typical pay-rate piqued his interest; what he wasn't banking on was that this agency, Department 13, dealt with primarily supernatural and paranormal occurrences within the United States. Teaming up with a grizzled veteran agent and a spunky support team, Jason's first year as an agent may be more than he bargained for as he races against insidious forces, human or otherwise, to determine the fate of the world.
