In the tradition of The Twilight Zone, Gideon’s is an anthology series based around the concept of a pawn shop that has existed since the beginning of time.

 

The pawn shop is a small trinket business establishment and in the past, it could’ve been a village tent, a trader in a caravan, an outpost in the Wild West...but within any time period there has always been a Gideon’s.

 

In every land and in every time.

 

Gideon’s sells items...unique items.

 

But these items usually carry much more of a cost than just the purchase price.

 

Often, it is a case of “you get what you paid for” but many times it may be because you didn’t quite know what you were asking for.

 

In any case, Gideon’s sells items...at a cost.

 

As for Gideon himself?  He never appears the same from one visitor to another.  But his daughter, Jezebel has always remained the same...since the beginning of time.

 

Gideon’s.  They have everything you could possibly want. But can you afford the price?
