When he is investigating a bizarre case with unexplainable deaths, he discovers an ordinary-looking motel room key and is soon dragged into a world of dangerous underground world of objects that possess strange powers.
He was portrayed by Peter Krause.
== History ==
Joe divorced from his wife and is in a bitter custody battle over their beloved 8 year-old daughter, Anna. Joe is sent with his partner Lou to investigate two deaths with unexplainable causes as both men are seen burned from the inside out and melted into the wall. While tracking down the only eye witness who has been targeted, he is given a motel room key. He soon realises that this key, when used in any door, transports him to a hotel room and from there, it can take him anywhere he can imagine.
Dangerous men are after this key and one, Weasel, kidnaps Anna in exchange from the key. A fight ensues and Anna walks into the hotel room .. but without the key in her hand the room resets and she is seemingly gone. Joe is targeted for her disappearance and goes on the run, all while trying to find out more about the objects and bring his daughter back. Along the way encounters Wally, a man with a bus ticket that can transport anyone it touches to Gallup, New Mexico and he tells Joe all he knows about ordinary objects that have special power. Jennifer Bloom, a woman working for an organisation trying to retrieve the objects from circulation asks Joe to join her but he just wants to find Anna. Together with Wally and Jennifer, Joe manages to find out more about the objects, tracing them back to the 60's and a dangerous, almost world-ending event that happened when one woman tried to combine some of them together.
Joe teams up with a wealthy object collector, Karl, who wants to save his own dying son using the objects and The Eye is one that can help them both. However Karl revelas his plan to combine the objects like before and bring his son back. He betrays Joe and leaves him to die, however he manages to escape using the Bus Ticket he borrowed from Wally just incase. Joe then asks Weasel for help, and the tow manage to find The Occupant, the man who was in the hotel room when the supernatural event happened that created the objects and is also The Prime Object.
Joe meets The Occupant (Eddie), a man who doesn't have any real answers about the objects and was a victim of the supernatural event just like them but he may be able to bring Anna back. He drives over to the original motel where Karl is almost about to end the world. Karl walks into the glowing hotel room door after using the key, and is with his son. The Occupant and Joe walk into the room (where objects don't work) to stop the event. Eddie pleads with Joe to kill him and become an object (as it will end Eddie's immortality and suffering) and it will bring Anna back. 
He initially refuses, not wanting to be a murderer but eventually gives in and shoots Eddie dead. Joe uses the key one last time and Anna is back in the room. The two tearfully reunite before Joe and Jennifer toss the key into the room and closes the door behind them, forcing the key to be lost forever. Joe, Jennifer and Anna then drive off together.
