Set at a mystical watering hole at the edge of the universe, “Bar Karma” stars William Sanderson (“True Blood,” “Lost,” "Deadwood") as James, the 20,000 year-old bartender, Matthew Humphreys (“Obsessed,” “Big Love,” “The Forgotten”) as bar owner Doug Jones, and Cassie Howarth (“Deranged High,” “Deathclock”) as the lone waitress, Dayna.

Kill It, Cook It, Eat It

Some may enjoy the process while others recoil, but for each diner it's an intense journey that just may change their perspectives - and appetites - forever.
