Vince Faraday (David Lyons, TV's "E.R.") is an honest cop on a corrupt police force. But when he's framed for murder and presumed dead, he finds that he must go into hiding, leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, TV's "Life on Mars"), and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, TV's "Flash Forward").

Featuring an incredible supporting cast, including James Frain (TV's "The Tudors"), Keith David (Death at a Funeral), Summer Glau (TV's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Dorian Missick (The Manchurian Candidate), Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Vinnie Jones (Snatch), it's the action-packed series that has critics raving, "'The Cape' is cloaked in awesome."

No extras have been mentioned at this time, nor is a Blu-ray version of this title planned. Cost is $29.98 SRP, and here's a look at the packaging:
