“I don’t want us to go through our careers known as ‘Freak Experts,’” laments LAPD Detective Nick Jordan. But this is exactly what is happening to him and his partner, Carson Hague as each of their investigation pushes them to the edge of social norms.

The first case has them risking their reputations, partnership and lives in setting a trap for a serial rapist of men. They have no support from their department that doubts such criminals exist let alone prey upon average guys in sports bars. Though their risks pay off professionally, the personal cost is high. Jordan and Hague are still recovering when they are drawn into a case that has been riveting the city for weeks. It is a series of ritualized killings of young professional women. Unbeknownst to the public, all the victims were into bdsm. It is a world that the police can’t begin to understand, but Jordan knows well from his long years in Vice. Jordan and Hague deftly navigate this strange terrain to an unlikely killer in an unlikely role. Along the way they discover a great deal about each other.

As if their lives weren’t complicated enough, Jordan and Hague have recently become involved with each other. Fraternization between partners is frowned upon in the police force in general. Even in a force that has a gay Deputy Chief, being out can get dangerous personally and professionally. But for Jordan and Hague, the relationship is worth the risk of separation, a hysterical ex-wife and overly curious co-workers. They are determined to find a way to navigate the strange and dangerous places their emotionally charged cases take them while staying together and keeping the jobs they were meant to do.

The Series
The six episodes of a limited run series for cable would take advantage of the format and explore issues that can’t fit into a feature film. In the first season, the trials of both Macy Oliver, the rapist, and Jeremy Sayer, the bdsm killer would be threads through the season. There would be intense pressure from each of their defense attorneys and a lot of unwanted attention from the media. The other thread would follow their adjustment to working with their assigned partners and coping with near homophobia from men they have to depend on to protect their backs. The case that will develop is a series of assaults in the Gay Community. The last one has a victim in a coma. Since the victims were in volatile relationships, the focus has been on current or ex-lovers. However, Hague notices a pattern that’s inconsistent with random domestic violence. This discovery and the growing pressure from the community, has Jordan and Hague reluctantly taking up the investigation. They discover a ‘club’ of wealthy young fraternity brothers may be behind the attacks or ‘hunts.’ But an accusation of such powerful people could cause them to lose everything they have.

Delphi in short is The X-files meets The Fugitive where Mulder is a Vampire. Simon Molinar is an ancient being of wisdom and terrifying power – a Vampire. Yet he manages to get himself ensnared by curious scientists with a government grant and military backing. In their hands, Molinar suffers all the cruel indignities medical science can offer. The scientists are clever, but no one can contain a being that has survived over a thousand years. Molinar escapes in a vicious and bloody act of retribution that seems to leave The Delphi Project that captured him in ruins.

Delphi rises again seeking to find another being like Molinar or create one from the virus in his blood. Thus, the Vampire returns but not to destroy. He comes back to rescue Dr. Joseph McKay from becoming Delphi’s next experiment. The Doctor was the one person who was kind to him during his captivity. He is the only mortal who knew what Molinar is and still sought to comfort and protect him. Dr. McKay also carries the gene that makes him predisposed to the effects of the virus.

The Doctor becomes a reluctant companion to the Vampire as they seek to expose Delphi to the public and prevent them from inflicting more misery on their human guinea pigs. They chase Delphi data at Universities scattered all over the country. Along the way, they encounter more paranormal phenomena. They also encounter ordinary people who need extraordinary help. Through it all, the Vampire teaches the mortal Doctor how to live while the mortal Doctor slowly re-introduces the Vampire to his humanity.

The Series
Delphi would run 11 episodes every half season like Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who and Eureka. The first four episodes would follow the novel from the capture of Simon Molinar until his rescuing of Joe McKay just ahead of being quarantined by Delphi. For three or four episode arcs, Simon and Joe are in a different city hunting for evidence on the first Delphi experiments. Some of the stories involve the intrigue of getting inside facilities to get at information. While they search and avoid detection, they run into regular people too weak to fend off human predators or too poor to pay for a search for loved ones. Joe and Simon often find themselves fighting battles that aren’t their own. And given that the Vampire exists, they run into other not-so human creatures that aren’t as civilized as Simon. Joe finds himself in the incredulous position of hunting things like Chubacabras, zombies and a very real and very angry tooth fairy terrorizing a dental convention.

But at its core, Blood Oath is about an extraordinary pair of men who, against all odds, have learned that weapons can fall in love.
