ABC will unleash the supernatural on the suburbs this summer with The Gates, a crime drama that appears to be equal parts Eureka, Cape Wrath/Meadowlands and Durham County -- with a sprinkling of vampires and werewolves.

The series stars Frank Grillo (Prison Break) as Nick Monohan, a big-city cop who moves with his wife (Marisol Nichols) and teen-age son (Travis Caldwell) to a sleepy planned community called, naturally enough, The Gates, where he'll serve as police chief.

As these things usually go, Monohan quickly discovers the town's residents aren't all that they appear to be: There's high-school football star Brett Crezski (Colton Haynes) and his surfer-dude best friend Lukas Ford (Justin Miles), who are both werewolves; homemaker/vampire Claire Radcliff (Rhona Mitra) and her vampire-husband Dylan (Luke Mably), who owns a bio-tech company; and Peg Mueller (Victoria Platt), the owner of an exotic/supernatural tea shop whose unscrupulous former pupil (Chandra West) has set up a rival business across the street.

The Gates, created by Richard Hatem (Supernatural, The Dead Zone) and Grant Scharbo (Jake 2.0), debuts at 9 p.m. June 20 on ABC.
