Quantum physics professor Tarnie Reymers has built a device that can capture the most dangerous type of spirit known as a "Shadow". With funding research drying up he takes a chance to pursue his work at any cost.

Myles Stevenson Burns IV is a pompous self-righteous Executive Producer of a failing Ghost investigations show. He desperately searches for a gimmick to save his ego from the death of plummeting television ratings.Both men meet and a strike a deal. Money for research on one hand and great Television ratings on the other.

Warnings aside, the two set forth to use the Shadow-capturing-device on "Live Television", only to cause a series of cataclysmic events forever changing the lives and deaths of the people around them.

The Shadow Brane is a modern day tale of greed, lust, unwarranted heroism and the ghastly paranormal.
