Season 1 • Episode 13
LatestDevastated by recent events, the Monohans decide to leave The Gates; the Radcliffes pursue Devon; Brett desperately searches for Andie.
Like most families that settle inside The Gates, the Monahans are unmoored from a complicated life they abandoned in Chicago. There's something very different about this place, almost... haunting. Named the new police chief of The Gates, Nick Monahan is about to be tangled up in a mystery where he will begin to piece together the dark truth about their new home, and the supernatural elements that lurk behind the shadows of The Gates.

ABC canceled this after one season despite decent ratings, part of their 2010 'let's stop doing genre shows' panic.
The Gates arrived at peak 'suburban fantasy' boom—True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Twilight—and got lost in the blood rush.
