Charlie Jade

Charlie Jade is a missing persons detective, 01 Boxer as a rich sociopath kidnapper, Jasmine as Charlie's girl friend, and Karl as Charlie's only friend in a world he doesn't know.

After an explosion that propels him into a parallel universe, Charlie Jade dreams he's back home in Cape City with his girlfriend, Jasmine. But he's quickly snapped out of it by a young girl and suddenly finds himself in a world that seems oddly off kilter. At a makeshift refugee camp, Charlie meets Karl Lubinsky, an investigative journalist who helps him undercover the truth of the explosion.

Charlie reluctantly helps Lubinsky in search for the truth about the Vexcor explosion. Their investigation leads to Elliot Krogg, the Vexcor scientist believed to be responsible for the bombing. Meanwhile, Reena is holed up in a seedy Cape Town motel, feeling guilt-ridden about her role in the explosion and heartbroken over the death of her lover.

01 orders his cronies to drug Krogg's girlfriend to aid in the extraction of information from her, which he will use to implicate Vex-Cor's board of directors in the bombing.

Charlie witnesses 01 use water to vanish before his eyes. Charlie investigates the incident, learning of a contaminated water supply purported to induce visions. Meanwhile, Reena is kidnapped and 01 Boxer plots to take over Vexcor in Betaverse.

Charlie takes up his old job as a private investigator in a case where the poor are murdered for the black market value of their organs. Reena is being brainwashed and 01 Boxer discovers that the recent blackouts are due to Vexcor rebuilding the link to Alphaverse.

Charlie searches for the diamond ring that he pawned. He learns that a diamond merchant, Eckman, is manufacturing diamonds for Vexcor that will allow the company to play "Big Brother." Meanwhile, Reena is sent on a mission to kill Galt.

Charlie is sent looking for a kidnapped girl, but it turns out the kidnapper was a hoaxer and the girl has fled from her parents to live with a much older man from Alphaverse. Galt and his chief of security are planning an attack on 01 Boxer and his new board. Reena aborts her suicide mission and is rescued by Rosalie.

After being shot in Betaverse, 01 Boxer escapes using the shower to Gammaverse where he washes up on a beach near his house and is nursed by his wife. Karl is captured by Vexcor's chief of security and tortured to give up information on Charlie.

Charlie discovers that a childhood friend, Gemma, from Alphaverse, works for Vexcor in Betaverse as a hydrologist. O1 Boxer discovers polluted water in Gammaverse and decides to return to Betaverse but discovers that he is no longer able to shift. In Alphaverse, Sew Sew questions Rompkin about missing people and their families who all have one thing in common: they were employees of Vexcor.

Gemma confronts Galt about the missing water but is dismissed as a lunatic. She teams up with Charlie and Karl to break into Vexcor to look for evidence. 01 Boxer manages to shift to Betaverse, but discovers he is the suspect of a murder.

Charlie decides to find out how O1 Boxer travels between universes and see if he can take him back to the BetaVerse, but O1 gets taken in by the police first. So Charlie impersonates an FBI agent to take control of O1 as a terrorist. The police figure out that Charlie isn't a real FBI agent and are questioning him.

Charlie and 01 go head-to-head in a cat and mouse game between captor and captive; Reena blackmails a disloyal Vexcor executive into revealing the Company's secrets; forced back into a life of prostitution, Jasmine snaps when a client pushes her to the edge of sanity.

When Lubinsky receives a leaked document about Vexcor's corrupt environmental practices, the trail leads Charlie to a frightened company executive and his accomplice, Reena.

As Blues investigates Charlie's claims about Vexcor, she starts to wonder if this intriguing man is insane or the information in Krogg's memo is true; Essa Rompkin uses Jasmine to blackmail Sew Sew Tukarrs into joining Vexcor security.

Charlie learns from Jody that he, too, has the unique power to travel from one universe to another, Lubinsky sends Reena to 01 for exorcism of her programmed personality, Tukarrs' search for the truth about the missing Vexcor executives jeopardizes his budding relationship with Jasmine.

Charlie finally gets his wish: he is back home. But it is not as he remembers it, or is it him? He is responsible for the arrest and execution of his friend Papa Louis; in a final act, Brion Boxer travels to Gammaverse and murders 01's family.

Back in Alphaverse, Charlie reflects on his role in the world and vows to stop the launch of the Vexcor Link that would destroy Betaverse.

Desperate to save the Company from 01, Essa prepares to launch the deadly link unaware that Brion has left controlling interest of Vexcor to 01.

Adversaries Charlie and 01 meet in Linkspace, a surreal netherworld that connects the three universes, to decide the final outcome of the perilous link.
