The Show's Premise:

An X-File for teens, the series follows the adventures of Harris Pembleton, who is a transfer student from England. He's having trouble adjusting to life in an American high school and it isn't going to get any easier when he becomes a "one man welcoming committee for everything paranormal the universe has to offer."

"The whole thing starts when Harris, a true neatness freak, decides to arrange the crystals on the unassuming Stone of Stephano. All of a sudden, Harris' tidying hurdles him into another dimension where he comes face to face with a god. Stephano gets downright pissed off when his English guest is less than impressed by the deity's supposed powers and he curses the boy to become a magnet for all that is weird in the universe. He knows, as Harris will soon find out, that this teenager's life will never be the same again." (from Brooke)

Character:

Brooke plays Claudia McBride, "[a] classmate of Harris who is obsessed with her popularity and reputation. Pretty. Sharp-tongued. Ambitious. A girly-girl with serious attitude who knows how to turn on the charm when she has to. Still aspiring to the Inner Sanctum of Cool at Stanton High, Claudia lives for opportunities to enhance her social prestige, which means doing only the right things and being seen with only the right people. As a result, she keeps Harris at arm's length, agreeing only to date him when there is a possibility of enhancing her own social agenda, like when Harris appears to have made the football team." (from Brooke)

Tidbits of Interest:

In earlier versions of the script, Claudia's surname was Marinelli. It was changed to McBride in later revisions.
