Rahmat Suleimani reports his 20-year-old girlfriend, Banaz Mahmod, as a missing person; newly promoted DCI, Caroline Goode, heads Team 16 of the London Metropolitan Police Homicide and Serious Crime Command in the ensuing search.

While Banaz's parents insist Banaz is not missing, her phone hasn't been used and there's been no movement on her bank account. It soon transpires that Banaz had been in contact with the police repeatedly in the preceding months; she'd even left a note with her local police station listing several men, including her uncle Ari Mahmod, who she claimed were planning to kill her, but she had not been taken seriously. Rahmat confirms that he and Banaz have been threatened with death because they'd been seen kissing and their relationship was deemed inappropriate; he claimed the threats were initiated by Ari Mahmod, and had been reported to the police two days before Banaz went missing.

Police appeal for information but are met with silence, Banaz's family and the wider Kurdish community close ranks and two of the men from Banaz's list have already fled to Iraq.

DC Sarah Raymond discovers that Banaz has an elder sister, Bekhal, who is estranged from the Mahmod family, she ran away from home to avoid a forced marriage and to escape the threats and violence she endured when she rebelled. Bekhal later divulges that, after she left home, her brother had attempted to kill her and had been paid by their father to do it.

One of the missing key suspects, Mohammed Hama, comes out of hiding and attends the police station. He's arrested and while in custody his telephone calls are recorded; Nawzad Gelly translates the content and informs DCI Goode that Hama is openly boasting about how Banaz was raped, killed and her body disposed of.

The focus shifts to finding Banaz's remains which, based on car tracking, phone data and information gleaned from Hama's recorded conversations, are found buried in a suitcase in a Birmingham suburb.

The circumstantial evidence mounts and Hama, despite being warned, continues to talk openly and further implicate his co-conspirators via recorded phone calls; ultimately he concedes his involvement and pleads guilty to a murder charge. The case against Ari and Mahmod Mahmod heads to trial, with Rahmat and Bekhal as the key prosecution witnesses. A contingent from within the Kurdish community attend the trial in support of the men and erupt with displeasure as the jury find both brothers guilty of murder.

After giving evidence, Rahmat and Bekhal are compelled to enter the witness protection programme.

Korean immigrant Amanda and her homeschooled daughter Chrissy “Chris” live on a rural farm, raising bees, selling honey, raising chickens, and living without modern technology as Amanda has an “allergic reaction” to electronics and electricity. She's upset to learn that Chrissy wants to leave the farm in order to pursue college. When Amanda receives the cremated ashes of her recently deceased estranged mother, or ''Umma'', in a suitcase from her uncle visiting her from Korea, she is confronted with memories of her abusive childhood.

Umma had been left to raise Amanda alone in the United States, unable to speak English and surrounded by those who did not understand or practice her culture. It is revealed that Amanda fabricated her “allergy” to electronics after being electrically shocked multiple times by Umma as punishment. When Amanda cut ties with her mother she also cut ties with her Korean heritage as a whole, including giving up her family name. As her uncle left, he shamed Amanda for abandoning her own mother and heritage, and for not teaching Chrissy Korean language and culture.

Soon after the ashes arrive a vicious spirit appears, intent on claiming Amanda's body for itself. As the supernatural phenomena following the delivery of her mother's ashes progress, from visions of tormented Korean spirits (including Umma's spirit) to an encounter with a kumiho that was eating her chickens, Amanda suddenly becomes more paranoid and fearful that she's slowly becoming her own mother.

Amanda acknowledges that it was unfair that Umma had been expected to raise a child all alone in a country far from home and in her circumstances, but that it was not an excuse for the abuse. This compassion and understanding allows Umma to finally move on and be at peace, as she had also come to understand that what she did to Amanda was unfair. The film ends with Amanda rediscovering her family heritage and sharing it with her daughter, as well as coming to terms with Chrissy's need to live her own life.

Private Charlie Standing of the Royal Hampshire Regiment is stationed at a remote outpost at Cuckmere Haven, overlooking the Seven Sisters along the south coast of England. He cycles back to Brighton where he meets his soon-to-be-wife Ivy 'Tup' Standing and they go for a countryside picnic. A montage begins showing the development of their relationship and the birth of their son, Terry. Charlie later meets up with fellow soldier Private Andrew Grimes, who tells him they are to be sent to North Africa. A distraught Tup confronts Charlie the night before he is due to leave; he tries to clam the situation by professing to her that he will return home, despite his father being killed in World War I. The next morning Tup sees him off at the station and he subsequently boards a ship bound for Africa.

At the British HQ in Sidi Nsir, Tunisia Charlie and Grimes are told they are to take part in a risky reconnaissance mission as a prelude to the anticipated arrival of German soldiers. They head out into the desert in a Jeep under the command of Captain Thompson and Sergeant Milton. After suffering a breakdown the group is attacked by German soldiers, resulting in the deaths of both Thompson and Milton which forces Charlie and Grimes to surrender themselves.

Now prisoners of war, they are transported to a POW camp in Capua, Southern Italy. The soldiers lament the poor conditions at the camp and soon the boredom begins to degrade them. As the British claim victory in the North African Campaign, the soldiers are transported north to another prison camp in Laterina, Tuscany. Here they are informed by the Italian Commander of Italy's decision to capitulate. As a result, the POWs are now free but are instructed by the British Camp Commander, Major Rawford, to await the Allies' arrival at the camp. Charlie sensing something is wrong pleads with Grimes to flee the camp with him, however Grimes refuses and Charlie departs alone.

Back in England, Tup flicks through a series of letters marked return-to-sender and ponders over the fate of her husband. Charlie walks across the Italian countryside alone, eventually arriving at a rural farmhouse which he breaks into and steals food, fleeing as the owner returns. The next morning he is discovered by two Italian peasants who decide to help him. Sometime later as winter approaches, the Germans arrive and Charlie is forced into the mountains where he hides out in a remote cave. One morning a German stumbles across the hiding place and Charlie is forced to kill him. That night an aerial bombardment takes place of the surrounding area, Charlie watching from the cave decides it is time to move on.

With the onset of winter he falls ill and collapses in a forest. He is rescued by a mute Italian shepherd, Giovanni, who nurses him back to health and escorts him to the convent in Viterbo, where he waits out the winter. Here he pens a letter to Tup in which he laments the cost of the war upon himself and its destruction of the beauty that surrounds him.

Meanwhile, Tup meets Canadian Officer, Michael Romero, whom she agrees to a date with. As the two bond, she begins to feel guilty and ends their relationship.

The German soldiers again catch up with Charlie and he flees into the forest where they discover him and a chase ensues. Surrounded on all sides by German soldiers, Charlie is once again pressed to surrender. However suddenly an artillery bombardment of the forest begins, allowing Charlie to escape in the ensuing chaos. War-weary and bedraggled, Charlie wanders through a ruined building and is subsequently rescued by a squad of American fifth army soldiers.

Victory in Europe is declared and Charlie watches the celebrations in Trafalgar Square. He struggles to adjust to life back in England and becomes emotionally detached from his wife and son, spending his time working on the railways. He writes a letter to Tup in which he apologises for his actions and declares his wishes to be with her.

Now in 1999, an older Tup reads the letter and then along with the rest of Charlie's letters, places them into his coffin. After the funeral, Tup travels to Cuckmere Haven to scatter the ashes.

Aru Shah, and her soul sisters, along with friend Aiden, attempt to rescue two twins from a ferris wheel. One of the twins is a clairvoyant, about to foretell a Great Prophecy relating to the War between devas and asuras, but are however delayed from the attempt by a rakshasa. Together, they defeat it. They meet twins Sheela and Nikita. Sheela can foretell the future, while Nikita can control plants. They claim they are Pandavas, although there is initial skepticism from the others. As to find out more about the Sleeper, they carry the demon through a quicker way, known as a Dead Zone, to Amaravati. It becomes apparent that normal mortals refuse to believe in magic, and therefore ignore it. They enter the Zone, however, the people who are banished there attempt to flee with them, causing the rakshasa to wake. Sheela speaks the Prophecy, which the rakshasa hears. It escapes afterward. The twins later get claimed by their soulfathers.

The Council of Guardians, concerned, visit Lanka, the City of Gold, as the Prophecy mentions a false treasure. The Prophecy mentions a "tree at the heart", which causes the Pandavas to believe it refers to the titular ''Tree of Wishes''. They visit the garden where it is kept, but, Nikita reveals it is a fake, and that the real tree, or a hint to its location, is kept in the Crypt of Eclipses, where there lies secrets, which is inside the House of Months. They decide to go on a quest to find the real tree. Since they need a key to open it, they decide to visit Vishwakarma, god of architects first. The quest is kept secret from all others, except Subala the pigeon, as they were forbidden from helping the devas. Aru is unexpectedly visited by a Nāga prince unknown as Rudy, who insists on joining the quest, and claims he can get them an audience with Vishwakarma. They visit Vishwakarma, who, after hearing their request, warns them that a key to unlock any lock needs to be alive, and live things demand answers. It is revealed that the Sleeper once tried to find the Tree, but it is unclear whether he succeeded in reaching it. He was changed after the experience, though, and left "parts of himself" along the way.

The Pandavas sneak inside the House of Months, and sneak past Rahu and Ketu. Yalis, keepers of the Crypt, are initially suspicious, as they can sense their celestial weapons, but however, agree to take them to the Crypt. The Pandavas find a wooden bird, with its voice broken, which holds a memory of the Sleeper. Aru accidentally drops it, and Rudy tries to catch it, unwittingly setting off an alarm. It is revealed that the Yalis have the pillar that contains Narasimha, the wrathful avatar of Vishnu. Aru bargains with the Yalis, and they narrowly escape Narasimha. The bird she was holding calls out to Garuda, who initially suspects them of stealing it, since Rudy is a nāga. They are saved by Boo. He converts it into a message, which can only be deciphered by chakora birds. Boo reveals that the Sleeper kidnapped Sheela, which impacts the group deeply. He also says Nikita is in the custody of the moon God. They travel to the chakora forest, where they meet Sohail, a chakora bird who is rejected by others for his tendency to fall in love with luminous objects. The birds agree to decipher the message, for each one of their secrets, which they force them to say. The birds also reveal they know who Aru is, and give her the memory of the Sleeper, wherein he names her. The birds unveil a riddle.

They go up to the moon realm, as the riddle mention roots, which leads them to believe that Nikita might have the answer. They retrieve her, and are left on a supermarket, where there are magical plants. Nikita speaks to them, and they find out that the tree is in Atlanta, in a floating island. While on the way there, Nikita and Aru reconcile. The Sleeper ambushes them with his army. The other Pandavas rescue Sheela, while Nikita and Aru flee to the Tree of Wishes, where Aru leaves Nkkita behind to protect her. Aranyani, owner of the Tree, warns her of the price, and gives her the final memory of the Sleeper. She also reveals that Boo made a bargain with the Sleeper to protect them, which hurts Aru deeply. Aru is conflicted, and her morality is heavily affected. Aru makes a wish, however, which is wiped clean from her memory. She pays the price of the Wish immediately, as she is taken by the Sleeper. She awakens chained, and meets Kara, a girl who claims to be the Sleeper's other daughter.

The book begins where the last book ended; with Aru meeting her supposed biological sister Kara. Aru is shocked by the revelation, as it implies her father, the Sleeper, cheated on her mother, or that her mother kept Kara a secret from her, but both do no appear to be the case. Kara also claims she is a Pandava, but Aru is skeptical, as there are only five known Pandavas. Kara is dubious as well, as the Sleeper wiped the memory of her past from her mind, so she does not know who her parents are, but claims that the Sleeper is not a bad person. Aru does not believe her. Kara claims that she was starting to become uncomfortable, as the Sleeper sometimes called her his "secret weapon". Kara also says that she wants to help Aru escape, although with the condition that she take her with Aru. Aru is extremely disoriented but agrees to let Kara come along. Kara frees Aru and the two escape. While making their escape, Aru notes Kara's desperation for approval, proudness, and intense knowledge of cultures, especially Hindu mythology. A ''rakshasa'' tries to stop them from leaving, but they manage to evade it.

They manage to make it back to Earth and reach Brynne, Mini, and Aiden, who reveal that she has been missing for two months. All travel from the Otherworld has been stopped, due to the Sleeper. Nikita and Sheela are therefore separated from them, but are reunited with their parents. Aru's mother is not there, since she has been searching for Aru. They also reveal that Lord Kubera is denying the Pandavas access to the nairratas, elite Hindu warriors, without testing them. Aru also reveals that Boo betrayed them, which they don't believe, and explains the situation of Kara. The three of them doubt Kara, Brynne especially is extremely ferocious to her. They travel to the location of the golden road, which would lead them to Lanka, but subsequently get trapped by vanaras, who want to put them, as human representatives, on trial for the atrocities done against their race by humans. As they are about to execute Aru, who they assume to be the ringleader, they are stopped by Queen Tara, Vali's wife. Queen Tara explains that she cannot help them, as the oceans will reject anything from their shores, but Aru manages to outwit the ocean, using mirrors. In response, Aru is granted a boon by Queen Tara.

They journey to Lanka, where they leave Kara behind, as Lord Kubera will not allow her entry. Lord Kubera reveals that he has been holding Urvashi and Hanuman captive, and the Sleeper has been trying to negotiate with him, to ensure that Lord Kubera will not allow the Pandavas access to the nairratas in the war, and that he will grant them the antima astra, the shard of the world destroying ''Brahmastra''. He also gives them proof that Boo is supposedly with the Sleeper. This makes Brynne even more ferocious, and she begins to become even more unkind to Kara. Lord Liberal states that, while he could grant the Sleeper his wishes, he would give them both the Astra and the nairratas if they pass his tasks. The Pandavas face the trials, and at the second one, Kara is stabbed, but she survives, albeit being comatose for a long time. After completing the third task, they return to Lanka, where the Sleeper's army attacks. Boo dies trying to protect them, but is later reincarnated as a Phoenix-like baby bird. The Nairrata army helps them overpower the Sleeper's army, and, they win. When they get back to Lanka, Kubera gives them full control of the Nairratas, and gives them possession of the antima astra.

While celebrating Aru's birthday, the Sleeper attacks, but Aru's mother intervenes. He then reveals to Kara that she is the sixth Pandava, born to a young Krithika Shah, who put her in stasis to reserve her reputation, and because she felt that she wasn't ready for a baby. This hurts Kara, and the Sleeper manages to convince her to join him. She steals the antima Astra from Aru, and uses it to destabilize and destroy all the other Pandavas celestial weapons, before leaving with the Sleeper. Aru is hurt, but remembers the boon Agni granted her.

In the year 2067, Earth has been devastated by climate change and an ongoing nuclear war. Only one city in the ruins of Australia has been able to hold out against these catastrophic changes, thanks to synthetic oxygen; this oxygen is tainted and gradually causes a deadly affliction known as "The Sickness".

Ethan Whyte cares for his wife Xanthe, who is afflicted with the Sickness. One day, Ethan is called before Regina Jackson, the Chronicorp CTO, who explains that the Sickness will eventually wipe out humanity. During a test of the "Chronical", a prototype time machine that quantum physicist Richard Whyte (Ethan's late father) had worked on before his death twenty years earlier, the scientists received a radio signal from 400 years in the future with a message to specifically send Ethan to them. In hopes of preventing the extinction of humankind, Ethan is asked to be sent into the future. He refuses, as he resents his father for abandoning him and his mother, but Xanthe and Ethan's guardian and work colleague Jude manage to change his mind.

After surviving the traumatic time displacement, Ethan finds himself in a lush rainforest, with a hand computer named Archie and a wrist device given to him as a child by Richard as his only surviving pieces of equipment. He finds the entrance to a bunker-like structure, and a skeleton wearing his jumpsuit, a decaying Archie and the wrist device, and with a bullet hole in its skull. Shocked by the discovery of his apparent death in the near future, and sick from eating poisonous berries, Ethan is rescued by Jude, who followed him through time after his life readings, transmitted through the Chronical, were failing. After sharing their findings, they follow Archie's directions to another, still-functional door, which leads to the Chronical lab. Ethan's wrist device is revealed to be a DNA analyser specifically made to grant him access to the Chronical, which sets itself for automatic reactivation in four hours.

From a holographic recording left by Richard, the duo learns that the Chronical project originally entailed the reactivation of an atmospheric monitoring station which would ascertain the Earth atmosphere's breathability in the future and then transmit the data back to the past. When first activating the machine, Richard was surprised to receive a message to send his own son to the future, so despite his misgivings, he prepared Ethan's wrist analyser. However, an immediate follow-up mission was rendered impossible because safely sending living matter through time required an operational link from both sides and the data showed a power failure in 2474.

The Chronical's activation triggers a malfunction in its nuclear power core, threatening to unleash a nuclear explosion before the countdown is completed. Ethan and Jude make their way to the power core, which is located beneath the overgrown ruins of their home city. Finding the ruins littered with skeletons, including Xanthe's, they conclude that a cure against the Sickness was never found. When Jude attempts to comfort him, Ethan recognizes Jude's voice from a recording he found on the decaying Archie, taken moments before his future self was killed. Claiming that he's saving Ethan from himself, Jude directs Ethan at gunpoint to the reactor's control room. Unable to activate the emergency override, Ethan decides to go inside of airlock and pull the lever.

With 37 minutes to spare, the duo return to the Chronical lab, where Ethan finds another exit that opens the entryway next to his skeleton. Ethan suffers a nervous breakdown and implores Jude to kill him, which Jude refuses to do. Jude then confesses that there was no actual hope of ever changing the future. Refusing to believe that, Ethan locks Jude in a room and plays back his father's log from the day that Richard died. Ethan learns that his mission was a sham from the beginning: Jackson intended to flee from her dying time into the future with a "chosen few", while Richard maintained hope for humankind. To prevent its abuse, Richard keyed the time machine to Ethan's DNA, but when Richard's colleague announced that the machine could be rigged to send a person into the future one-way, Jackson killed Richard. Jude was appointed as Ethan's guardian to ensure that Ethan would be sent forward in time to repair the power failure and stabilise the time portal; once Ethan returned to 2067, Jackson would have him killed.

Ethan tries to shut the Chronical down, but Jude moves to stop him. When Ethan refuses to fight him, Jude, guilt-ridden, commits suicide. Just before Jackson can put her plans in motion, Ethan sends the "Send Ethan Whyte" message into the past along with a copy of Richard's recorded murder on Archie, hundreds of live jungle plants, and a farewell gift to Xanthe. He destroys the Chronical, which changes the timeline: In the past, Jackson is arrested after Archie transmits the recording to a news station, and the plants are used to revitalize the planet. In the future, Ethan's corpse is gone, and Ethan discovers his formerly ruined city is advanced with architecture that is more harmonious with the natural environment.

An elderly actor, once an audience favorite, goes to a talent agency for work, but is told he is too old to be hired. Going home, he tells the bad news to his wife. They pawn most of their possessions, and end up begging on the streets. There they happen to come across a familiar face: a star performer, who rose to fame after getting valuable advice from the older actor. The star, finding his mentor impoverished, offers his home as a place to live.

Marianne is a middle-aged, overweight, slovenly and lonely assistant to a funeral director in Munich. Her life revolves around relaxing in an indoor swimming pool, commuting on the subway between her apartment and the funeral home, and munching candy bars in bed while watching television, which is how she revisits her teenage "crush" for the pop singer Peter Kraus and his hit "Sugar Baby".

On one trip she becomes aware of the train driver, attracted by his announcing voice. He is young, tall, lean and blond (not unlike Kraus), and Marianne becomes obsessed. By a process of subterfuge and detective work she learns his name (Huber), marital status (a cold, overbearing wife), and favorite candy bar. She starts taking exercise, dressing smartly and cooking regular meals. She learns to interpret the subway network's complicated shift roster, and makes a point of occasionally crossing his path, perhaps giving him a smile of recognition. She dresses up her drab apartment and installs a new double bed.

Marianne learns that Huber's wife will be away for two weeks on account of a death in the family, and puts her plan into action. At the vending machine she offers him the bar she has just bought ("I've changed my mind") and they go for a coffee. She invites him to come to dinner the next evening. She cooks a roast and sets the table for a romantic meal, but when he fails to arrive she breaks down sobbing, and furiously destroys the table setting and much else beside. The roast is burnt. Then he arrives, late because of an emergency at work.

They make love, and he moves in with her. She takes holidays, buys him new clothes, he takes her places on his motorcycle, and they share intimacies; her unhappy childhood and his fear of being the driver involved in an unavoidable fatality. They enjoy each other's company and she fantasizes a life together; they go to a rock 'n' roll dance evening, and when the band plays "Sugarbaby" they "let their hair down" and the other couples stand back to give them space. Frau Huber, who has returned and found Marianne's address in her husband's work jacket, storms in through the crowd, separates the couple and furiously assaults Marianne, Huber cowering among the onlookers. Leaving Marianne bruised and dazed on the dance floor, Frau Huber marches her husband out of the hall.

In the last scene, Marianne, still bruised, is standing on the edge of the platform, holding out a candy bar as the train approaches.

As the episode begins, Steven (Zach Callison) is being lectured by Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) after crashing Greg's van at the end of the previous episode as she, Garnet (Estelle), and Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) try to get him to talk to them about his problems. In an ensuing outburst, he accidentally slows down time, during which he takes the opportunity to flee.

He goes to Jasper's (Kimberly Brooks) campsite, where, after a talk, she pushes him to embrace his anger. After hesitation, Steven fights back, and she begins training him rigorously to fight well by honing his anger and aggression.

During training, she makes him climb a mountain while carrying boulders and then try to shatter them, sleep outside, run very fast, and pick up fish directly in a pond. Eventually, Steven glows pink again and grows taller.

After three days of training, Steven challenges Jasper to a rematch. During the fight, Steven becomes much more aggressive, even laughing maniacally. Using his powers, Steven traps her in a barrier and shoots spikes straight at her, shattering her gemstone, effectively killing her.

Distressed, Steven, now back to normal, quickly returns home and goes into the bathroom, ignoring the concerned Crystal Gems. He frantically tries to reassemble Jasper's gem, bathing it in the bottled essences of the Diamonds (the creators of the Gem race) and his own tears. Jasper's gem is successfully repaired, and her body reforms. As soon as she appears, Steven tries to apologize for shattering her; however, to his horror, she responds by kneeling before him and stating, "I bow to your strength, my Diamond."

Émilie, a call center operator for a phone service provider, is living in an apartment in the Les Olympiades complex belonging to her terminally ill grandmother. Facing difficulties making rent, she places advertisements for a roommate, to which Camille, a teacher returning to university for his doctoral degree, responds. Émilie is initially hesitant to rent to a man, but the two quickly develop a sexual relationship. They each agree that they are uninterested in becoming partners, but Émilie develops feelings for Camille and becomes frustrated when he refuses to have sex with her one night. The next day, they decide to stop having sex, and Camille romantically pursues a co-worker. When he invites that co-worker over, Émilie goes to a party, takes MDMA, sleeps with a woman, and then has an anxiety attack after returning to her apartment and overhearing Camille having sex with his partner. Émilie takes her jealousy and frustration (having recently lost her job) out on Camille, who decides to move in with his partner.

Attending the same university as Camille is Nora, a 33-year-old in the second year of her undergraduate law degree. She spent most of her early adulthood working for a real estate firm owned by her uncle by marriage, with whom she had a ten-year sexual relationship. Nora has few friends and finds it difficult to relate to her younger classmates. She impulsively buys a blonde wig and attends an energetic college party wearing the wig. At the party, she is mistaken for well-known camgirl Amber Sweet, who wears a similar wig, and is harassed by fellow students until she leaves the party. The next day, Nora is mocked by students in her class who think she is Amber; she drops out shortly afterwards.

Needing a job, Nora applies for a position in a small real estate firm that happens to be managed by Camille, who has since broken up with his former co-worker and taken over the firm from a relative to supplement his income. Nora decides to set platonic boundaries between herself and Camille, but eventually falls in love with him, and they enter into a relationship. Camille re-establishes a prickly friendship with Émilie, who has since become a waiter. Camille asks Émilie for advice with his current relationship, but her love for him makes her unable to broach the subject. Meanwhile, Nora tracks Amber down and buys camming time with her to discuss the incident of mistaken identity. Over the course of many videochats, they become close friends.

Nora and Camille's relationship becomes strained, and they eventually break up after a sexual encounter in which Nora dominates Camille. On the same night, Émilie's grandmother dies. When Émilie tells Camille that she feels unable to face her family at the funeral on the coming Sunday, Camille offers to attend with her. Émilie is angered by this offer and asks Camille to either attend the funeral (and thus commit to a relationship with her) or else cut contact with her. That Sunday, Nora and Amber meet in a park. Nora faints after greeting Amber, and then asks her to kiss her. In Les Olympiades, Émilie is preparing to attend the funeral alone when her apartment phone rings; it is Camille waiting for her. Émilie asks Camille to explain why he has come until Camille admits that he loves her. She then hangs up the phone to join Camille outside.

Aris enrolls in a recovery program for unclaimed patients to create identities during a pandemic that causes amnesia.

Set in the early 1990s, five teen employees of a small town movie theater find a mysterious film reel and decide to play it after the theater closes. Watching the vintage X-rated film unleashes a succubus, who tries to seduce each of the five teens as they attempt to escape the theater intact.

The day starts off with two of the teens, Abe and Todd, outside of a house in the suburbs as they peep through a window, watching a couple have sex inside. Todd wants to leave and tells Abe they will get in trouble, so the two of them hop on their bikes and ride down the sidewalk to the theater where they work. Inside the theater, they and their fellow employees stand around in a prayer circle led by their boss, Mr. Pike, who tells them they can have a movie night after they close and clean the theater. As the teens fight over which movie to watch, ''A League of Their Own'' or ''Encino Man'', they hear a noise inside the theater. A crazy old man is running around by the screen. They attempt to get him to leave, but he runs through a boarded up opening in the lobby. As the teens peer inside, they see that it leads to a basement.

The five of them decide to go down together to get the man out instead of calling Mr. Pike. Once down there, they find a room filled with old tin cans of film reels. Abe brings one of the reels upstairs, and they all vote to watch it for movie night, except for Jeff the projectionist, who worries that it might break the projector because it is so old. He is out-voted though, and they start playing the film, which is a weird pornographic film that unleashes a succubus named Lilith.

Many women disappear under mysterious circumstances, generating a climate of terror and paranoia in the entire population of a town. All the clues point to the same museum.

Michael "Mike" Milo is a divorced alcoholic and experienced rodeo star in Galveston, Texas. Suffering from tennis elbow and severe headaches, Mike arrives late to the rodeo stadium he works at, run by Howard Polk. Participating in an event where he attempts to "ride out" a horse, Mike is trampled and hospitalized with a broken leg.

At the hospital, Mike reflects on losing his parents at the age of five, dropping out of college after his grandparents died in a house fire, working alongside his first employer who once tasked him with putting down a dozen horses, and his eventual path into becoming a rodeo cowboy.

A few weeks later, Mike is discharged from the hospital with a weak leg. Upon returning to the stadium, Mike is surprised to find out that he has been laid off. The next day, Mike finds out that his ex-wife Donna has remarried. Saddened by the news, Mike sells most of his awards and prized possessions at a local bar.

Following his divorce five years ago, Howard lost custody of his only son, Rafael "Rafo" Polk, who was then sent to Mexico to live with his mother. Howard meets with Mike and attempts to persuade him into kidnapping Rafo and transporting him back to Texas, promising $50,000 through ransom money from Rafo's mother. Initially rejecting the offer, Mike remembers the time he unsuccessfully defended a prostitute named Cissy Brewer from Ewell Macmillian, the former owner and co-founder of the rodeo stadium, who forced a horse onto Cissy. Ewell was given a suspended sentence, and he was replaced by Howard shortly after. Cissy, who had been traumatized by the event, became homeless and mentally ill. In the present, Mike decides to help Howard retrieve his son.

After being given a panel truck, Mike drives down the Pan-American Highway and arrives in Mexico City, where he finds Rafo living in a large house with his mother, Alexandra "Lexa" Muños de Santis Polk, in the Lomas de Chapultepec. At midnight, while sneaking into the home, Mike becomes dizzy and suffers a fall that knocks him unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness, Mike finds himself being tended to by Lexa, who is aware of his intentions. Lexa reveals to Mike that Rafo does not live with her, and instead lives as a gambling thief out in the streets. Mike then departs from the home and begins his search for Rafo.

A few days later, Mike finds Rafo participating in a cockfight in Tepito. Before he can talk to him, the event is interrupted by a police raid and Rafo runs away. Shortly after, Mike finds Rafo's white rooster, Macho, which he uses to bait Rafo into talking with him at a cafe. Once there, Rafo agrees to travel to Texas to reunite with his father Howard. The next day, following a short altercation, the pair begin their journey to the southern border, where they plan to pass illegally.

In San Luis Potosí, Mike has his panel truck, money, and Macho stolen by a group of thieves. Using a public bus as transportation, the pair arrive in Janasco, where Mike finds and recovers his stolen truck and Macho. The next day, the pair meet and befriend Marta, a poor widow with whom Mike becomes intimate. After Marta suffers severe burns due to the burning of her jacal, Mike and Rafo depart from Janasco.

Driving towards the border, the pair stop after noticing a patrol car following them. As they wait, a vulture snatches and flies away with Macho, to Rafo's dismay. That night, the pair are confronted by two officers from the national patrol, who search the car and interrogate Rafo about his intentions of traveling to the United States. After Rafo lies about his plan to meet his father at the border, the officers follow the pair to a motel, with the intent of hearing the confirmation of the statement through a phone call.

At the motel, Howard refuses to admit his involvement with Mike, resulting in the arrests of both Mike and Rafo, for kidnapping and petty theft, respectively. Allowed to stay at the motel until dawn, Rafo learns that his father wanted to be with him simply to battle Lexa in court for her money. In the morning, the pair go their separate ways, with Mike continuing his journey to Texas, while Rafo returns to Janasco. To ensure Rafo's safety, Mike has the officers pursue him to Texas. Realizing Mike has crossed the border into the US, the officers decide to dismiss the case to avoid punishment for their failures.

Despite suffering a gunshot wound to his shoulder during the chase, Mike decides to return to Mexico in the hopes of reuniting with Rafo.

In Luanda, Angola, a flooded apartment building is home to many vibrant families. The story is centered around Odonato who lives on the sixth floor of the Maianga Building with his wife, Xilisbaba, their daughter, Amarelinha, and Granma Kunjikise. While searching for his lost son, Odonato's flesh becomes transparent as Luanda becomes unrecognizable. When his son, Ciente-the-Grand, stumbles into the Maianga Building late at night, bloodied from trying to rob someone's house, Little Daddy mistakes him for a thief. Little Daddy warns the other residents by whistling twice. Nga Nelucha hears the whistle on the fourth floor and wakes her husband, Edú. Edú takes a broom and bangs the ceiling to wake Comrade Mute, while Odonato's family wakes up at the same time. When everyone descends to see who it is, they learn that Ciente-the-Grand was shot up the buttocks. Ciente-the-Grand can not go to the hospital for fear that he will be arrested for attempted robbery. Unable to receive proper care, Ciente leaves the apartment and collapses outside of the building. A group of six policemen believe that Ciente is a "pot-head" and attempt to kick him awake, then take him into their police car.

While searching for his son, Odonato runs into Superintendent Gadinho who helps to locate his son. He discovers that the policemen took him down to a police station with a strict commanding officer. Odonato is told that the commanding officer wants food in exchange for his son, but every time Odonato delivers food to the police station, the policemen eat it. He goes to the station one last time, but he discovers that Ciente was consigned to the fourteenth district cemetery three days ago.

Ononato and Little Daddy find Ciente's body at the cemetery and carry him back to the apartment building. The closer they get to the apartment, the heavier Ciente's body becomes. The residents have to help carry Ciente to Odonato's apartment on the sixth floor. When they place him on a table, the body breaks the table and falls through the floors below to the main entrance.

The residents attend Ciente's funeral at the Church of the Sacred Little Lamb founded by one of the residents. Odonato has become so light that he needs to be tethered to a chair. After the funeral, Odonato asks to be tied to his favorite spot on the roof of the apartment building. At the end of the novel, Luanda is engulfed in flames and Odonato floats to the sky.

In addition to Odonato, the story follows the private lives of many of the residents of the Maianga building. On the third floor is Little Daddy who came to Luanda searching for his lost mother. By the end of the novel, his search is publicized and his mother is found, but Little Daddy is dead from an altercation in the streets. Senhor Eduardo, Edú, and Nga Nelucha live on the fourth floor. Edú is often visited by international specialists who are fascinated by the large hernia on his left testicle. Meanwhile, Comrade Mute on the fifth floor is an excellent barbecue cook who loves playing music from his apartment.

Other characters include João Slowly who founds the Church of the Sacred Little Lamb next to his favorite bar. He also creates the Rooster Camões Cinema at the top of the apartment building. Additionally, Blind Man and Seashell Seller sell seashells to wealthy residents and residents in the apartment building. They appear in the beginning and the end of the novel with Blind Man inquiring Seashell Seller about the color of fire. Seashell Seller and Amarelinha fall in love, and it is suggested that Amarelinha is pregnant. Lastly, the Mailman handwrites countless letters to anyone in power asking for transportation to help him deliver the mail. At the end of the novel, he reads an official letter that denies the concession of a vehicle.

In Luanda, excavations are being carried out in search of oil, which not only takes peace of mind from the city dwellers, but will severely damage the city as a whole. The excavations culminate in the entirety of Luanda burning as an errant spark turns the oil buried underneath the city into a firestorm. Odonato, having become nearly entirely transparent by the end of the novel, floats above the flames, away from the fire engulfing his former home. In this final scene, the magical realist symbolism is very important. Despite the many warnings of the dangers of the oil drilling project, capitalist politicians and powerful businesses hungry for money and nothing else pushed through with the oil drilling, causing Luanda to become an inferno. As a result, this novel uses magical realist elements as a critique of colonialism, capitalism, and the corrosive and harmful aspects of corrupt politicians.

The film begins in a secret government lab run by the U.S. War Department, where a mysterious young girl is shown interfacing with alien technology recovered during the Roswell UFO incident. The young girl has strong telepathic abilities, and is able to relate her experiences in the alien device by typing them out on a computer monitor. The girl, called Sera, begins to die due to her interaction with the machine, and is rescued by a researcher named John.

The film then switches to a diverse group of humans aboard a UFO orbiting Earth, where the group is being held against their will. Each human is restrained separately, in a harness where their arms and legs are restrained by black tentacles. The tentacles tighten as they resist, and the energy created by their emotional responses is harnessed by the ship. When the humans fail to have enough emotional responses to provide energy for the ship, the ship responds by sending larger tentacles into the room, which envelop their heads and create a direct telepathic link with the ship, and they are taunted into responding emotionally.

It is revealed that each of the humans was abducted during different periods in Earth's history, ranging from the 20th to the 21st century, and that Sera is a human-alien hybrid whose mother was impregnated back at the Roswell encounter. None of the group know what the current year is, nor do they know how long they’ve been on the ship. Most of the group are merely regarded as missing people back on Earth, except for Zack, a famous musician of his time whose disappearance led to his girlfriend being convicted of his “murder”.

Sera and John determine that Sera, who can interface with the ship in the present as well as the past, can free the humans on the ship, but only by sacrificing herself. Despite John’s protests, she frees the groups and they return to Earth, where they begin walking toward a city in the distance. Sera is then shown directly linked to the ships computer. The ship uses Sera to “open the door” to more of the ships, which then arrive in Earth's solar system.

In a mid-credits scene, Sera unsuccessfully attempts to contact John on the computer monitor in the past.

She has been hired to care for the man's young niece and nephew: Flora (played by Alexandra Wager) and Miles (played by Hayward Morse). She has been given complete charge of the children, as their uncle spends his time in London and does not wish to be bothered.

The governess learns from the housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (played by Isobel Elsom), that the last governess died. The parents of the children died in India of yellow fever. Miles arrives at Bly after being expelled from his boarding school. The governess sees a man in the garden as Miles arrives home and is unsure if the man was real or a hallucination.

The governess has tea with the children on a stormy Sunday. She sees the same man looking in the window from the storm. She tells Mrs. Grose that the man has the clothes of a gentleman but a coarse face with queer whiskers, red hair, and sharp eyes. Mrs. Grose says the description matches a valet, Peter Quint, but he died. The governess believes he came for someone.

Act II

The governess narrates: As autumn approaches, "an atmosphere of terror seemed to settle about the house like an evil twilight mist", but inside they lived "the lie of normality". The governess still knows nothing about the reason for Miles' expulsion.

Mrs. Grose confesses that she was afraid of Quint. He was discovered in a ditch with a wound to his head. The governess believes she is at Bly to protect the children from Quint.

The governess sees a mysterious woman dressed in black. Flora does not see her. The governess believes the woman in black is her predecessor, Miss Jessel. She believes that Quint and Jessel have come for the children.

The children perform a play for the governess and Mrs. Grose. The governess sees Miss Jessel again in the schoolroom and a short time later she again sees Quint. The children behave oddly, Miles standing motionless in the garden in the middle of the night. Miles says he planned the night to convince the governess that he is bad. The governess writes to their uncle.

Quint and Jessel have not appeared to Mrs. Grose. The governess and Mrs. Grose wonder if the governess is hallucinating. They confront Flora. The governess sees Miss Jessel, but Mrs. Grose does not. Flora also sees nothing and asks Mrs. Grose to take her away from the governess. The next morning, Mrs. Grose takes Flora away, leaving the governess with Miles.

The governess speaks with Miles. Miles says they are not alone, as they are also with "the others". Miles tries to leave, saying there is something he has to do. The governess presses Miles for the truth. He confesses to taking the letter that the governess had written to his uncle. Quint appears outside the house, then enters. Miles calls him a devil, and Quint disappears. The governess embraces Miles, saying that he is now free of Quint. Miles then dies in the governess's arms.

Tom and his fiancée Jeannie, along with younger sister Karen and her boyfriend, Chris—as well as their friends Ron and Lissa—are on a winter snomobiling vacation in rural Wisconsin to celebrate Chris's birthday. At a local tavern, Lissa is harassed by a drunken racist man who calls her derogatory African American slurs. A kindly waitress, Bessie, apologizes for the patron's behavior, and recommends the group venture to remote trails along Black Friar Lake as part of their snowmobiling excursion.

Along the lake, Tom crashes into a tree and severely injures himself. Chris, a medical student, finds Tom is in shock, and that he needs shelter from the cold. The group find the rustic, abandoned Camp Saint Dominic, a religious summer camp, situated in the woods near the lake, and decide to stay the night. As Tom's condition worsens, Ron departs on snowmobile at nightfall to seek help. Shortly after Ron departs, Tom regains consciousness, but remains weak.

Karen finds a number of mementos from the camp's past, including photographs as well as a makeshift ouija board. Karen, Chris, Lissa, and Jeannie begin to play with the board, though Jeannie is initially reluctant. The pointer on the board begins to spin rapidly, during which Tom goes into convulsions and becomes possessed by a demonic entity. Meanwhile, Ron crashes his snowmobile into a fence and is killed. While Karen and Chris have sex, Lissa explores the lodge, and finds newspaper clippings about a Satanic cult having taken over Camp Saint Dominic. Lissa becomes frightened, and is cornered in a pantry closet by a supernatural entity, where an industrial fan decapitates her.

Chris goes to look for Lissa, but senses he is being watched. He flees outside, where he is impaled through the eye by a falling icicle. Tom insults Karen, suggesting Chris went to find Lissa to cheat on her. Jeannie notices Chris is acting uncharacteristic from his normal self. At Tom's request, Jeannie removes a bandages from his hand and head, and finds his wounds that were there shortly before have miraculously healed. Tom seduces Jeannie, and the two have passionate sex. Meanwhile, Karen is hanged in a volleyball net while exploring the camp gymnasium.

In the morning, Jeannie finds her friend's corpses, and realizes Tom is missing. She consults the ouija board for answers, and it tells her Tom is her enemy, and to leave. As she flees, Jeannie witnesses a cloaked Tom ceremonially knelt beneath photographs of the camp's past visitors. She flees on a snowmobile, but is pursued by Tom, who boards Ron's crashed snowmobile. A protracted chase ensues before Tom crashes into a snowplow, which runs over his body, crushing him and causing his snowmobile to explode. Tom, caught in the inferno, is burned alive. Jeannie flees the scene as a sheriff arrives.

In voiceover narration from thirty years in the future, Jeannie, recalling the events, explains that she revisited Black Friar Lake and found the camp was merely a set of ruins—it had burned down decades prior.

''The Lordly Ones'' is a collection of 7 stories, four science fiction, 2 fantasy, and one ghost story.

''"''Protagonist" is perhaps too strong a word to describe Colonel Russell. As Haggard himself wrote about his work:

"My novels are chiefly novels of suspense with a background of international politics. Colonel Charles Russell of the Security Executive, a not entirely imaginary British counter-espionage organization, while not a protagonist in the technical sense, holds the storyline together in the background by his operations, while the characters in the foreground carry the action."

A leading British pharmaceutical company has released a new tranquilizer, Mecron, which has very positive and pleasing effects on its users and sells well as a result. Henry Leggatt, a former board member of the company and Member of Parliament, works as Parliamentary Secretary to Robert Seneschal, the Minister of Social Welfare, who thinks that he should rightfully be prime minister. Leggatt is aware that there may be dangerous, unintended side-effects to Mecron, and he and his supervisor take steps to ensure the drug is withdrawn from the market until conclusive studies have been carried out. However, a disgruntled underling discloses this to a notorious newspaper and Mecron immediately becomes a scandalous public issue. In this, the fourth book of the series, Colonel Russell of the Security Executive is without his "invaluable" aide, Major Mortimer, and suffers from a lack of consultations with his Minister, Gabriel Palliser, the Home Office Secretary. Palliser is alerted to the fact that a lucrative black market that sells small quantities of the now-illicit drug has quickly blossomed.

A beautiful young French woman, Rachel Borrodaile, is Colonel Russell's chosen operative for this book. She was in the French Resistance during World War II, where she knew Henry Leggatt, who had served in the British forces. Captured by the Gestapo, she was severely tortured and hospitalized for two years. After making a full recovery, she has become a highly trained and very dangerous British operative and is given ''carte blanche'' by Russell to do whatever is necessary to shut down the black market. A small gang of ruthless Cypriots, already known to the police, has secured a supply of Mecron. Whilst their chemist in Turkey attempts to duplicate the drug, they kidnap and torture Henry Leggatt, with the hope that he will lead them to the stockpiled supplies at his former pharmaceutical company. Borrodaile, having recently renewed her friendship with Leggatt after 16 years, becomes determined to thwart the Cypriots. By the time the story comes to Haggard's usual violent dénouement, the originally quiet investigation into the side-effects of a drug has had a profound effect on the lives of all the story's characters except for Colonel Russell.

In 1943, in the middle of the World War II, shows is running of the Circus Mezzapiotta, owned by the Jew Israel. Four freaks perform there: Matilde, a girl who produces electricity and electrocutes anyone who touches her; Cencio, an albino boy who can control all insects; Fulvio, a "man-beast" suffering from hypertrichosis, and therefore covered in hair from head to toe, endowed with superhuman strength; and finally Mario, a dwarf with a slight mental retardation and the ability to manipulate metal objects. The worsening of the conflict puts the survival of the Circus at risk, so Israel proposes that the four of them attempt to travel to America; Fulvio, on the other hand, proposes that they find work at the prestigious Berlin Zircus, a sumptuous show put on by the Nazis who have occupied Rome. The Zircus is actually the realm of Franz, a German pianist with six fingers on each hand who possesses clairvoyant powers: he had a premonition of Hitler's suicide and the arrival of four beings with superhuman powers that could save the fate of the Third Reich (as well as various events and inventions that will happen in the years following the end of the conflict); for this reason he created the Zircus in order to gather all the freaks in the area, who undergo deadly torture in an attempt to identify the saviors.

Israel manages to convince the four freaks to leave for America, but after collecting their savings he disappears. After fortunately escaping a roundup in an attempt to go looking for him in Rome, the four decide to separate: Matilde, the only one who believes in Israel's good faith, leaves to look for him, while the other three go to the Berlin Zircus. Matilde avoids an attempted rape by a German soldier, and saves herself by electrocuting him with her powers; she is then saved by a shabby group of partisans led by the Hunchback, who tries to use her power for their cause. Thanks to their help, Matilde manages to track down Israel aboard a truck on its way to the concentration camps, but she is unable to save him because she is unable to control her power, nor to use it to harm anyone. She will later reveal to the Hunchback that she had unintentionally killed her own mother, which led her to fear herself and her power.

Fulvio, Mario and Cencio are hired at the Berlin Zircus, where they attract the attention of Franz, who subjects them to painful tortures. Matilde is informed by Guercio, another partisan, of the real purpose of the Zircus, and leaves to save her friends; however, she is captured by Franz, who begins to believe that the four freaks are the ones who appeared in his vision; so he organizes a big show to show them to his brother Amon and to Field Marshal Kesselring, in order to convince them to employ them in the War. During the show Franz tries to force Matilde to electrocute a tiger, but the girl is able for the first time to control her power and manages to save the animal instead; humiliated and mocked, Franz condemns the four freaks to the stake. Matilde, however, succeeds in blowing up the door of their cell, and the four friends leave to save Israel, who is traveling on one of the death trains. Learning of their escape, Franz realizes that the four are in fact the ones he is looking for, and that destiny will be fulfilled at a train station he saw in a premonition. In pursuit of them, the German kills Amon and assumes his identity, wearing his uniform and even cutting off his excessive fingers, and then places himself at the head of the army.

Using all their powers, the four friends manage to defeat the German soldiers and save Israel and the other Jews, but are immediately attacked by the army led by Franz. Despite the intervention of the Hunchback's partisans and the powers of the four freaks, the Germans seem to prevail. When Israel sacrifices himself to save her life, Matilde finally succeeds in taking full control of her power and concentrates it in a huge explosion of energy, which annihilates all the German soldiers. While witnessing the death of his fiancée Irina, Franz understands that his vision was not about Hitler's suicide, but his own: in fact, shortly after, realizing that his plan failed, he kills himself. The four freaks, finally free, can start traveling again.

During the 1970s in Hong Kong, corruption has become endemic in the city, with police corruption being the leading culprit. As the kings of the corruption empire, chief Chinese detective Chui Lok (Francis Ng) and triad leader/drug lord Crippled Ho (Tony Leung Ka-fai) have colluded for over ten years and amassed over a trillion dollars.

Lawyer Hank Chan (Louis Koo) has always despised corruption and believes that if citizens fall into poverty, their rights and privileges would be exploited. By chance, Chan reunites with his college classmate Nash Pak (Gordon Lam), who returned from Britain. Pak is impressed by Chan's righteous personality and invites him to join the governor's newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Chan and Pak select a group of elites to be the ICAC's first batch of investigators, with their main targets being Ho and Tsui. The ICAC'S early missions are successful but Ho and Tsui team up to retaliate and threaten many of the investigators. Nonetheless, Chan and Pak's will remain untouched and they become more determined to eliminate the two corrupt tyrants.

Having been born on Eventide ten years ago, Morrigan Crow is considered "cursed" and is blamed for all the misfortune brought upon the people of Jackalfax, such as a broken hip or a dead cat. In addition, Morrigan is supposed to die in one year on the next Eventide, so she doesn't give it much thought when she is not chosen as anyone's apprentice when it is time for the masters to choose. However, this year, Eventide will come a full year early, as Morrigan is surprised to learn from her father, Corvus Crow. This means that Morrigan is set to die even sooner than she thought. When Eventide night comes, Morrigan is whisked away by Jupiter North, who had been lingering around Jackalfax recently. North saves her from the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow, who hunt cursed children on Eventide, and takes her to Nevermoor, a mysterious magic town the likes of which Morrigan has never seen on any map. North brings Morrigan to his home and business, the Hotel Deucalion, which he owns and introduces her to the employees, including Kedgeree Burns, the concierge, and Fenestra, a giant talking cat who is head of housekeeping. There, Morrigan learns from Dame Chanda Kali, a singer and permanent resident of the hotel, that North plans to insert Morrigan into a contest to gain access and membership to the Wundrous Society, a mystical society of elders of which Kali is a part of. Kali also tells her that to be a part of the society, one must have a "knack," or a special power. Kali's, for example, is that she can attract and control animals with her voice. Morrigan begins to worry, since her apparent knack has not revealed itself yet.

Morrigan later confronts Jupiter, demanding to know what her knack is, if she even has one. Jupiter tells her that it isn't important, in addition to describing the four trials she will have to complete to become a member of the Wundrous Society: the Fright Trial, the Speech Trial and the Show Trial. Morrigan becomes concerned that her not having a knack will disqualify her from the competition, but Jupiter assures her that everything will be fine. Jupiter also reveals his own knack, called "The Witness," which lets him see the truth in everything. Later, Jupiter and Morrigan (who he calls "Mog") visit the Wundrous Society campus, Wunsoc, a combination of both words, by way of the Brolly Rail, a train that never stops to let passengers on, so those who wish to ride it must jump onto it while it is still speeding along. During the first trial, the Book Trial, Morrigan aces the first part, though she must admit that she feels alone, and barely passes the second half, which is all about Nevermoorian history. As Morrigan prepares for the next trial, the Chase Trial, Jupiter and the staff of the hotel try to pick out a stead on which Morrigan can race on. At the same time, Morrigan develops a close friendship with fellow competitor Hawthorne Swift, a dragon-rider, and an intense hatred for Noelle, another competitor who enjoys mocking and making fun of her.

In the Chase Trial, contestants must race on a non-flying creature with two to four legs and hit a target all the way across town. Out of three hundred contestants, there are only 150 targets, five of which are golden targets, and, if you hit them, you will be invited to a dinner party hosted by the council itself, which is said to give contestants an advantage in the coming trials. Morrigan, riding Fenestra, attempts to hit a golden target, but must stop along the way to pick up another girl who fell off her rhinoceros and almost got trampled. The girl, Cadence, takes victory from her, and Morrigan only passes the trial through a technicality. After the Fright Trial, Morrigan prepares for the Show Trial. Hawthorne, Noelle, and Cadence get a spot in the top nine contestants, but when Morrigan gets up on the stage, she still has not realized her knack. Jupiter tells the judges something, and they accept her. Later, while riding home, Morrigan is kidnapped by Ezra Squall, the Wundersmith, the man who massacred Nevermoor a hundred years ago, and he tells her that she is a Wundersmith too. All the kids who were born on Eventide in Jackalfax are, and he hired the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow to kill them.

The film tells the story of the protagonist Boniface Mwangi, nicknamed "Softie", Kenyan slang for "wimp", in his childhood years but who has ironically turned out as one of most daring and audacious activists in Kenya at the forefront of fighting injustices in the country. His activism and the constant danger the path he has chosen poses to his life and that of his family creates a tremendous turmoil between him and his wife Njeri Mwangi, who is protective of her family.

The film chronicles the activist's seven-year journey beginning with chaos-filled street protests and culminating in Boniface's decision to run for a political seat in his childhood neighbourhood, Starehe constituency, where he is confronted by the reality of challenging strong political dynasties.

Ting Cheuk-fei (Michael Tse) is an undercover police officer who has been infiltrating the Fuk Wo (福和) triad gang for seven years. In order to keep his cover, Ting is more ruthless than other triad members and helps him gradually get closer to his goal. When a fellow undercover cop, Van, was captured by Shawn (Ben Ng), a leader of Fuk Wo, Ting was forced to torture him and watch him get killed, Ting grows tired of his never-ending undercover job.

On the other hand, Tuen Yat-fan (Pakho Chau) work for drug lord Sung Ching-kwong's (Kenneth Chan) who was planted mole in the Hong Kong Police Force. Tuen was just promoted to chief inspector of the Anti-Triad Unit and is slated to become superintendent in two years. Tuen also successfully proposes to his girlfriend, Sin-yeung (Shiga Lin), who works in the unit's interior department, and longs to become a real policeman.

The Fuk Wo is collaborating on a drug trade with Sung's Eastern Trading Company and Tuen is assigned by his superior to lead the raid to bust the trade, which he decides not to inform Sung. On the other hand, Ting is picked by Fuk Wo main leader, Brother Hei (Benz Hui) along with two other fellow triads to execute the trade. Ting coordinates with his handler, Officer Lau (Ray Lui), who gives him an invisible marker which he uses to give the location of the trade in Ap Lei Pai to Lau, and successfully busts the trade. However, the trade was actually a setup by Hei and Sung using C-grade cocaine and counterfeit cash for the former to find the mole in his gang while they have their actual trade in Central.

Hei's assistant, East, who turns out to be a mole planted by Sung in Fuk Wo, discovers Ting's invisible market writings to Lau and also figures Tuen wants to betray Sung. Sung kills Sin-yeung and frames it on Ting, who was knocked out by a taser. Ting sets up to find the hitman who killed Sin-yeung while Lau investigates on Tuen. With the help of a fellow triad, Nasty (Cheung Pak-man), Ting finds the hitman, who flees after a scuffle but bumps into Tuen and Ting convinces him the hitman was the one who killed his fiance. Nasty helps Ting find the hitman, who is ready to flee in the docks and Ting beats and ties up the hitman, who kills Nasty, before calling Tuen and persuades him to investigate who is the mastermind, which he discovers to be Sung.

Tuen later helps Ting expose East to Hei to keep Ting's cover before driving away in a fit of rage to seek revenge on Sung. When Tuen confronts Sung in the docks, the latter kicks Tuen in the water and on the verge to shoot him, but Ting arrives in time to stop Sung and engages the latter in a scuffle. Tuen gets up and picks up his gun and shoots Sung, who also shoots Tuen at the same time, and they are both killed. In the end, Hei, Shawn and Ting's boss, Joss (Kenny Wong) all receive life sentences for charges including murder, manslaughter and drug trafficking, and Ting finally completes his mission while finding Tuen's police identification and throws it in the water.

Jupiter North, Morrigan Crow's patron and caretaker, takes her to a performance of the Angel Israfel, whose singing is so beautiful that the lives of those who listen to him will seem anticlimactic after they hear his song. Israfel is initially pleased when Jupiter and Morrigan arrive, but his mood turns sour when Jupiter tells him that they have only come to ask for a favor. They also learn that another great singer, Cassiel, has gone missing, which is bad for Israfel's business. Jupiter tells Israfel that he needs him to become a signatory and sign a safest that will allow Morrigan, the newest Wundersmith, to remain in Nevermoor legally. After they leave, Jupiter admits that he has been planning Morrigan a twelfth birthday party, and promises that it will be low-key until they arrive at Jupiter's place of business, the Hotel Deucalion, and Jupiter makes it a big production. Morrigan is touched, since nobody had ever thrown her a birthday party when she was in her homeland, Jackalfax, since she was a "cursed" child. The elders and patron discuss Morrigan being a Wundersmith, but even though Baz Charlton and Nan Dawson don't want Morrigan in the Wundrous Society Unit 919, Jupiter insists that being a Wundersmith doesn't make one evil; Ezra Squall just "happened to be a Wundersmith and a sociopath." That night, Morrigan discovers a new door in her hotel room, and ventures through to see a train station that is only for Unit 919. The others discover it too, and they are introduced to everything in the Wundrous Society by Miss Cheery. Cheery explains that the society is split into two schools: Mundane and Arcane; each school thinks they are better than the other. Originally, Unit 919 was supposed to be given a tour of the Wunsoc campus, but their tour leader, Paximus Luck, has gone missing like Cassiel, which greatly worries Morrigan. Morrigan shows her schedule to the Scholar Mistress, the principal of the school, who dislikes all her classes because they are training her to be dangerous. She sets Morrigan up with only one class, which she attends all day every day. The class is a history of all heinous crimes committed by Wundersmiths, taught by Professor Hemingway Q. Onstald, a wunimal turtle who makes her read from a book entitled ''Missteps, Blunders, Fiascoes, Monstroities, and Devastations''.

Onstald tries to convince Morrigan that she is already evil like the rest of the Wundersmiths and is beyond saving, but Morrigan leaves school early to voice her grievances to Jupiter, who tells her that Onstald is obviously biased and only wrote about the bad things Wundersmiths have done because it is his book, and is able to get another class on Morrigan's schedule, about navigating the city of Nevermoor. Morrigan warms up to both the teacher, Mildway, and the class. After a terrifying encounter with the Charlton Five, bullies whose patron is Baz Charlton, who want her to reveal her knack even though the Elders specified that she mustn't. A note also appears for Unit 919, telling them that they must meet certain demands, that Thaddea must lose a boxing match and Francis must bake a cake for them, and if they don't meet the demands exactly, whoever sent the note will reveal the dreadful secret of Unit 919. Everyone assumes it is Morrigan sending the notes being a Wundersmith and all. Morrigan learns about Tricksy Lanes, a way to get across town more quickly, but also more dangerously, in her map class, and they even take a field trip to see one. There, Morrigan powers on to try to see what's on the other side of the lane, and watch two men in the Devilish Court discussing the Ghastly Market, a fable market where even living things can be bought, and she starts looking into the mystery, thinking that those who disappeared could have been taken there. Due to the blackmail, part of the Unit starts to grow away from Morrigan, thinking that it’s her fault that they have to go through so much trouble to meet the demands. Then, to make matters worse, one of the Charlton Five attacks Morrigan thinking that she did something to make Alfie, another member of the group who recently disappeared, leave. Miss Cheery comes to her rescue. Heloise, the girl, harms her and Morrigan spontaneously breathes fire sending Heloise to the hospital.

The Elders are very displeased with her and ban her from Wunsoc campus, making her attend classes from home. Morrigan visits the Nevermoor Bazaar which is set up only once a year, with Cadence and Hawthorne and his family including his brother Homer, who took a vow of silence, but wanders off into a restricted part of the bazaar and ends up in the Ghastly Market, proving that it is real. There, she finds Alfie Swann, the member of the Charlton Five who disappeared, and returns him home, though he has apparently lost his knack. Later, upon starting Wundrous Society lessons at home, Morrigan finds that the staff of the Hotel Deucalion are purposefully trying to annoy Professor Onstald, and is accepted back into the society. For her map class, Morrigan must navigate the streets of Nevermoor for one and a half hours with two other members of Unit 919, Francis and Mahir, without using any means of transport besides their own feet. Morrigan gets separated from her classmates and ends up getting lost. She is found and approached by the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow, who instead of fighting her take her to see Squall again. He teaches her to control the Wunder around her, but she demands to leave after Squall notes that she is becoming more and more like him. She returns to the Hotel Deucalion, where Jupiter has just gotten back from one of his increasingly frequent Wundrous Society trips. She informs him of her newfound power, and he warns her to be careful with it. Later, Jupiter takes Morrigan to Jemmity Park, an amusement park created by Odbouy Jemmity, a Wundersmith. On its opening day, the gates never let anyone in, and it was named a fiasco. However, it did open, but just for the children who deserved to play in it, and was named a singularity.

Later, on Hallowmas Eve, Morrigan confronts Professor Onstald about what she saw, and when she threatens to expose him as a fraud for putting false information in his book, he stops time temporarily, as his knack is called “Timekeeper.” When he is taken like all the other members and animals that have disappeared, the Black Parade is cancelled, and to make up for it, Jupiter hosts a séance on the roof of the Deucalion. However, Squall arrives once more, telling her that Candence and Lambeth, members of her Unit, are being sold on the Ghastly Market, along with Onstald and the Angel Israfel. Morrigan and Hawthorne arrive at the Ghastly Market where it is revealed that Lambeth is actually a deserter of the Wintersea Republic, a crime punishable by death. Morrigan uses her Wundersmith abilities to destroy the Ghastly Market once and for all, saving her friends, but Onstald stays behind, sacrificing himself for Morrigan and the others. At a Wundrous Society assembly, Morrigan gets blackmailed to reveal herself as a Wundersmith or Lambeth’s secret will be revealed and she will likely be killed. Morrigan debates revealing her own secret, but then decides that it is the right thing to do. After telling the crowd, it is revealed that the demands were only a trust exercise for Unit 919 to make sure they could function as a team.

Although most ''Star Trek'' adventures feature the players as Starfleet officers, in this adventure, the player characters are Klingon officers on a D7 battlecruiser. They discover a primitive world with deposits of duralium, an ore used in warp drive shielding. Although the planet is currently embroiled in a civil war, the characters must somehow secure the planet as a client of the Klingon Empire.

At Moe's Tavern, she enthralls the barflies, but decides that the only man she wants is Homer, who is feeling down because Marge took the kids on a vacation without him. However, Homer, missing his family, is largely indifferent to Lily, which only makes her want him more.

Meanwhile, Bart gets Lyme disease after absent-mindedly running into a forest filled with ticks and Marge, already growing tired of the vacation, takes Maggie to the dock where a crazy mob of tourists almost runs them over.

Elsewhere, Mr. Burns is spying on Lily and decides that he must have her. He commands Homer to lure Lily into meeting him on his boat, to which Homer agrees. However, when Lily runs away from the date, Homer begins to feel bad and consoles her. When Homer drives her home, they kiss, much to Homer's dismay.

Later, Marge comes home early due to the failure of her vacation and Homer gets a call from an unknown number, which turns out to be Lily. Homer decides that he only wants to be with Marge. Lily decides that there is nothing left for her in Springfield and she returns to England.

Back in England, Lily turns down the advances of the pubgoers until she meets a British Homer lookalike.

On Christmas Eve at some point in the future, Georgia Olsen finds out that she is pregnant. The child's father, her boyfriend, Sam Hoth, asks her to marry him. Georgia, however, is uncertain both about the relationship and her desire to be a mother. She decides not to tell her parents.

Forgetting her phone at home, Georgia goes to a college Christmas party with Sam. An android named Eli, owned by the Olsens, wishes Sam happy Halloween instead of Christmas, the first suggestion that something is amiss.

At the party, a shrill screech can suddenly be heard and soon after, an android turns violent. He attacks Georgia and Sam, who run away from the house. Smartphones unexpectedly start exploding, killing their users and leading to an AI takeover.

Nine months later, Georgia, expecting her baby, has taken shelter in the forest with Sam. The couple are trying to get to a fortified Boston. They have heard rumors about a boat that is transporting new mothers to Asia, where they can find a peaceful life.

They avoid all roads and travel through the woods, until they reach a military camp. While Georgia gets examined by a doctor, Sam tries to find out how to reach Boston. At night, he gets into a fight with one of the soldiers, and he and Georgia are expelled from the camp the next day. They continue on, until they find an abandoned house, where they spend the night. Sam finds a dirtbike and repairs it.

The following day, the couple are able to travel faster on the dirt bike. While stopped at a river, they are spotted by an android, who pursues them. Soon, several more androids give chase, accompanied by drones. Sam drops off Georgia and tries to lure the androids away on the motorbike. Meanwhile, Georgia meets a camouflaged man who offers to help her. He turns out to be an AI programmer who tells her that the androids have learned to hack their software. He introduces himself as Arthur.

In the morning, Georgia awakes to contractions. She tells Arthur that she needs to find Sam, and he leads her to where her partner is being held. They approach a building patrolled by androids, from which cries of pain can be heard. Arthur gives Georgia a camouflaged vest, which he claims will conceal her. She walks through the building, looking for Sam, unseen by the androids. She finds him in one of the rooms, with his legs badly broken. While she is freeing Sam, another prisoner tries to draw the attention of the androids. Georgia drags Sam out into a large garage. She collapses from contractions, and just as they are about to be apprehended, Arthur intervenes, stabbing an android and saving them. Georgia goes into labor in Arthur's truck. She wakes up in a hospital clinic, with Sam beside her. A nurse informs her that the C-section delivery went well, and that they have a baby boy. The couple name their son Forest, and Sam takes a photo of the family.

Later, Georgia gets questioned by a security officer. She tells him what she and Sam have been through, and mentions the vest that allowed her to avoid detection by androids. The officer tells her that such technology doesn't exist. Georgia then realizes that Arthur is an android and that he deceived her. Within moments, the power goes out, and the base comes under attack. Georgia tries to wake up Sam, to no avail. She heads down to try and activate the base perimeter and is confronted by Arthur. She shoots him in the face repeatedly, killing him. She manages to activate the perimeter and returns to Sam.

When Georgia wakes up again, Sam is up. Together with Forest, they head to the harbor, where officers are loading a boat headed to Korea. They are only able to take Forest, as Georgia and a legless Sam would be a burden. After pleading with them to no avail, Georgia is convinced by Sam to let Forest go and have a better life. She then boards a military convoy to Portland alone.

Sean has also become a drug addict, is dating a stripper named Rikki and is in debt to local gangsters, the Garrett brothers for whom he had been working as a drug mule. Sean says that he owed the Garretts for some drugs that went missing in suspicious circumstances.

Chloe has an abusive relationship with Jason, who Eddie assaults in an attempt to protect Chloe. Eddie and Sean carry out renovations of The Green Man and relaunch it. The Garrett brothers threaten to destroy the pub if Eddie and Sean cannot repay Sean's debt.

Stanley Sugerman, a jaded international scout for the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, lives life on the road searching for future stars. His frequent travel takes a toll on his wife Teresa and daughter Alex. While he is liked by 76ers owner Rex Merrick, he clashes with Rex's son Vincent. Rex promotes Stanley to assistant coach, allowing him to remain at home with his family. The same evening, however, Rex dies, leaving Vince in charge.

Three months later, Vince demotes Stanley again to scout, sending him overseas to find a new star. Meeting with his former college teammate Leon Rich, he encourages him to leave the 76ers and also become a player agent. When Stanley's plan to scout another player in Spain falls through, watching a local pick-up game, he is stunned by an incredibly talented unknown player.

Stanley attempts to speak with the man, Bo Cruz, but is rebuffed until he makes a Facetime call to Dirk Nowitzki to prove his legitimacy. Bo and his mother Paola recount his life story: he was a talented player from an early age and was invited to play in America at age 15, but stayed in Spain after his girlfriend became pregnant with his daughter Lucia. Bo now works construction and makes extra money hustling at basketball.

After an impressive workout with members of the Spanish national team, Stanley urges the 76ers front office to sign Cruz immediately, but Vincent is unconvinced. Taking matters into his own hands, he pays to bring Cruz to the US, telling him he will be signed by the Sixers or enter the NBA draft. At the airport, Bo is detained for an aggravated assault conviction he received in Spain. He is released, but warned that he could be deported if he were to be arrested in America.

Stanley takes Bo to play at a showcase organized by Leon, which is also attended by the presumptive second overall pick Kermit Wilts. Stanley advises Bo that if he shuts down Wilts, it will significantly raise his stock with the Sixers. During the workout, Cruz shows flashes of talent, but struggles on offense and at guarding Wilts, who trash talks him and throws him off his game.

When Vince passes on Bo, Stanley quits the 76ers to prepare Cruz for the NBA Draft Combine six weeks away. Telling Bo his only weakness is his sensitivity, he builds on his mental toughness. Teresa and Alex assist with the training by preparing meals and taping workouts. Bo improves dramatically through Stanley's coaching, but Leon cannot get him into the Draft Combine after Vince spreads information about Bo's assault charge.

Furious at Stanley, Bo eventually reveals the charge stemmed from a fight with Lucia's mother's boyfriend after she tried to claim sole custody of Lucia. Stanley admits his injured hand was from a drunk driving accident while in college, derailing his basketball team's season and putting him in jail for six months. Their trust renewed, Stanley works tirelessly to get Bo into the combine, without success.

To create interest, the Sugermans enlist Julius Erving to create a viral video of "the Boa Challenge", where people, including 76ers player Tobias Harris, attempt to score on Bo for money. Cruz is eventually accepted into the combine, and Stanley flies Lucia and Paola to the US to support him. Bo impresses in the physical elements of the combine, but faces off with Wilts again in a five-on-five exhibition game. He initially performs well, but Kermit begins talking trash about Bo's daughter and mother, so he eventually breaks, pushing Wilts down, and storming out.

Both Stanley and Bo think their journey is over. At the airport for Bo's flight back to Spain, Leon calls about a private game for players and front office members that Bo and Kermit have both been invited to. Playing without pressure, Cruz locks down Wilts defensively and demonstrates his offensive abilities. Rex's daughter Kat, who recognizes Stanley's talent, reveals she is taking over from Vince and rehires him as an assistant coach.

Five months later, the 76ers and Boston Celtics tip off for a game against each other with Stanley now the assistant coach of the 76ers and Bo playing for the Boston Celtics.

When Superintendent Chalmers is selected to give the keynote speech at an administrators' convention in Cincinnati, he elects to take popular Principal Finch as his plus one. During detention, Bart notes the school's lack of respect for Principal Skinner and urges him to step up his game to win the spot. When Finch falls ill from food poisoning, Skinner volunteers in his place, and Chalmers reluctantly agrees.

Things get off to a rocky start when Skinner checks the bag with Chalmers's anxiety medicine at the airport, causing him to have a panic attack and get thrown off the flight. Skinner volunteers to drive the 800 miles to the convention. The pair face a number of obstacles, including a hitchhiking Shakespearean improv, a traffic court and an angry gang of cyclists; but eventually begin to bond. One night at a bed and breakfast, Skinner overhears a phone conversation between Chalmers and Finch, revealing that Chalmers was planning on replacing Skinner with Finch as principal. Furious, Skinner confronts his boss, admitting he had deliberately poisoned Finch to keep him off the trip. The two brawl, and Chalmers heads to Cincinnati alone.

At the keynote speech, Chalmers realizes he had left his notes with Skinner, and starts to choke. However, he is able to bond with the other superintendents over tales of inept underlings, and ends up praising Skinner, who has just arrived to deliver the notes. The two reconcile and Chalmers delivers his speech. Upon returning to Springfield, Skinner earns the respect of the schoolchildren and meets with Chalmers for a friendly meal at a chili restaurant.

In the tag scene, Marge surprises the family with tickets to the improv group, much to their dismay.

She persuades him to go back with her to the plantation so that she can exact revenge on her cruel former owner (Miller).

The publicity for the film states that it is "inspired by the true events of a woman of servitude in 1800s Georgia, who escapes the 55-acre confines of her captor to discover the shocking reality that exists beyond the tree line ... it's 1973."Darcy Rafter, "[https://www.thefocus.news/movies/alice-movie-based-on-true-story/ The chilling true story Keke Palmer movie Alice is based on]", ''The Focus''. Retrieved April 2, 2022. Elements of the film's background are loosely based on the narrative of Mae Louise Miller, who escaped from slavery in 1961.

Paul and Wendy Michaelson take their RV to a remote lakeside campsite with their daughter Taylor and pug Lucky. Paul meets Miranda, an attractive woman in the neighboring campsite, while Wendy is getting supplies. However, when Wendy returns, they discover Taylor has disappeared.

They contact the manager Tom but have no luck. Sheriff Baker and Deputy Rakes organize a search party but tell Paul and Wendy to stay put. After 24 hours, Paul and Wendy file a missing persons report and also learn there is an escaped convict in the area but that he is unlikely to be the suspect. Paul and Wendy decide to conduct their own search and eventually find a man sleeping at a campfire with a gun beside him. Assuming he is the escapee, Wendy grabs his gun. The sleeper awakens and grabs at the gun, only to be shot. The next day, the sheriff tells them the convict was caught on a bus leaving town, and a camper was found shot to death. Paul and Wendy realize Wendy shot an innocent man.

As local authorities are getting more involved, Paul and Wendy grow more suspicious of Miranda and her husband Eric. While the latter are gone Paul and Wendy search their RV but fail to see a strand of beads belonging to their daughter Taylor. That night, Paul observes Miranda making love. The next day the two couples go out on the lake together to continue the search. After six hours on the lake, they spot a plastic bag floating on the water, but it holds no clues. Paul and Wendy accuse Eric and Miranda of taking their daughter because they have been unsuccessful in trying to have a baby. Wendy pulls out a gun, and a fight ensues in which Miranda is shot and Eric is stabbed. Paul and Wendy return to shore, shaken, and argue. When Baker finds Eric’s body, he searches Eric and Miranda’s RV and finds the beads, which Wendy confirms is her daughter's. Baker is informed later that strands of hair were in Eric’s hand.

Later, Wendy suspects Tom might be responsible, so she searches his place, uncovering a hidden passageway leading to a toilet and a closet shelf with a stash of child pornography videos. She is knocked out and bound. After Tom diverts Paul from looking for her, he tries to hold Wendy down, but she finds a hammer on the floor and kills Tom. Baker suspects Tom was part of a child pornography network, and with the case seemingly solved, Paul convinces Wendy to throw away Taylor's stuff to bring closure. The items are later recovered by Tom's groundskeeper Justin, who has been having his own issues. He urgently tries to call police but cannot get through.

Baker eventually receives a Dear John letter from his wife but then notices something strange about a photo of the Michaelsons—they are posed in front of the World Trade Center before the September 11 attacks and Wendy is pregnant in the picture, implying that Taylor would have been much older than 10 years old. After contacting another police network, he learns from Paul's brother that their daughter had died six years before and the Michaelsons have actually been living out a fantasy in which they think their daughter is still alive because they have been unable to successfully go through the stages of grief. Rakes confirms the DNA from the hair in Eric’s hand belonged to Paul.

Flashbacks show the couple murdering Eric and Miranda, Paul planting the beads in the RV and Justin discovering the blanket which has the daughter's real birth date printed on it. The police return to the campsite, but in Wendy and Paul's spot, they find another RV couple who momentarily lose their child and worry she was taken by the Michaelsons, but the child reappears. The Michaelsons have already left the campsite and are reliving their memories with Taylor who is playing on their RV's video screen.

The story follows elven mage Frieren, a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-years-quest. In the past, the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower that occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and offer them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge.

Frieren returns to the capital fifty years later; however, humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged. After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old age. During the funeral, Frieren expressed guilt for not attempting to learn more about him. Frieren then pays a visit to her other former comrades. She accepts an offer to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned child adopted by Heiter. She also receives an invitation to travel far north, to the resting place of souls, and see Himmel again to bid the hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. To fulfill those requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still pursuing her passion for learning magic.

Frieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan, causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with Himmel's party a fleeting experience). The story thus takes place across a long time, with periodic flashbacks accompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself.

A family gathers in a large Cornwall house for a Christmas reunion. With matriarch Sophia and her estranged sister Iris are her son Art and who they believe is his girlfriend Charlotte.

But, like a figure in a Shakespearean romance —there are many references to “Cymbeline” - Lux magically brings Art, Iris, and Sophia together.

The collection consists of nine stories that explore the intersection of sexuality and Christianity. Black women protagonists appear in each story. Topics covered include infidelity, casual sex, and lesbian relationships.

''Protagonist'' is perhaps too strong a word to describe Colonel Russell. As Haggard himself wrote about his fiction:

My novels are chiefly novels of suspense with a background of international politics. A Colonel Charles Russell of the Security Executive, a not entirely imaginary British counter-espionage organization, while not a protagonist in the technical sense, holds the story line together in the background by his operations, while the characters in the foreground carry the action."

As usual with Haggard's books, there are subplots within subplots, but the main theme is a simple one: one of the world's most brilliant scientists, Alexander Gorgan, has been ordered by the President of his native country (unnamed but clearly Yugoslavia) to deliver an address to an eminent group of scientists in London. He is the world's greatest expert in microwaves, which have become vital in the development of anti-ballistic missile defenses. It is a political decision: there are mounting tensions within his country between different groups of Communists, and the Soviets (also unnamed, but clearly identified) are trying to interfere in an unhelpful way. Gorgan is a prize that any of the factions would like to seize (or simply kill), so England, which enjoys friendly relations with Gorgan's President, is seen as being a sanctuary for weeks or even months. And Gorgan's masters have confidence that the Special Branch and Colonel Russell's Security Executive together will be able to secure his safety. Gorgan, however, although a relatively young, hard-living ''bon vivante'', also has a serious neurological issue and he collapses immediately upon arrival in England and is rushed to a private hospital in the countryside where he will spend weeks in fitful recuperation. Seizing this unexpected opportunity, one of the factions immediately makes an attempt on his life but is thwarted by the Security Executive. And now another unforeseen faction appears: Americans, who are nominal allies of the English. Rather than wanting to kill him, at least one of them, an Embassy diplomat and multi-millionaire, merely wants to brainwash him and drain him of his knowledge of microwaves. But Colonel Russell, now aided by the timely reappearance of his "invaluable" aide Major Mortimer from earlier books, enlists the help of James Scobell, an American semi-colleague who clearly works for the unnamed CIA, and with Mortimer and Scobell consulting closely, he arranges an elaborate rescue of Gorgan from a kidnapping contrived to deliver him clandestinely to Russia. At the very end of the book Russell and his ministerial master from earlier books, Gabriel Palliser, are discussing what to do with Gorgan, now arranged by the Yugoslavs to be in England for a long period of time. Sir William Banner, the prominent industrialist from the previous High Wire, is proposed as being a possible patron. Russell agrees but says firmly: "We mustn't cheat." And the Minister replies: "We mustn't be caught out cheating."

Centuries ago, a demon lived in a small village and gained the sympathy of the villagers. As they left their land unattended to spend time with the demon, the villagers lost all of their goods. An exorcist then arrived to permanently seal the demon and protect the village again.

In the present day, preparations for a festival, which is celebrated every 11 years, are ongoing around True Cross Campus Town. Rin Okumura and his brother Yukio, and Shiemi Moriyama are sent on a mission to exorcise the "Phantom Train" that got lost control after Rin and Shiemi tried to save the ghosts that are unconsciously trapped inside. After the fight, one of the demons inside the Phantom Train escapes. Rin later encounters the little demon with a child-like appearance and names it Usamaro. Usamaro is taken by the exorcists, but Rin opposes their decision to exorcise him so they give him the duty to look after the demon instead. Usamaro is revealed to be a benevolent kami that became a demon after suffering the pain of being betrayed and abandoned by the villagers he cared for and had used his power to erase the bad memories from their minds to make everyone live through happiness. While living with Rin, Usamaro uses his power to make him and his other exorcists his friends and forget about their tasks of protecting the town during the festival.

As a result, the town is infested with demons. During these circumstances, Rin discovers Usamaro's power and learns that he is the same demon of the tale his father, Shiro Fujimoto, shared with him and Yukio when they were only children. Thanks to their friendship, Rin helps Usumaro understand how valuable memories are, even the painful ones, and makes him promise to never use his power again, to which the little demon agrees. Although he is accepted by Rin as part of his family, Usamaro decides to sacrifice himself due to the demons taking control of the city, breaking his promise. In the end, everyone seems to forget about Usamaro's existence and the chaos that occurred during the festival, but Rin seems to remember Usamaro and will visit his temple, promising him that he will never forget him.

The story follows lawman Elmore Evans, who, despite being one of the most amazing gunslingers in the West, cannot get rid of his bad luck in his romantic life.

The original four episodes of ''Doom'' lead to ''Sigil'' as the fifth episode, set in Hell. After ''Sigil'', Doomguy goes to fight demons on Earth in ''Doom 2: Hell on Earth''. Like the rest of the ''Doom'' episodes, the only in-game story comes at the end.

John Romero provides exposition for ''Sigil'' on its website: "After killing the Spider mastermind at the end of E4M8 ("Unto the Cruel"), your next tour of duty is eliminating the hellspawn that is causing unimaginable carnage in Earth’s cities. But Baphomet glitched the final teleporter with his hidden sigil whose eldritch power brings you back to even darker shores of Hell. You fight through this stygian pocket of evil to confront the ultimate harbingers of Satan, then finally return to become Earth's savior. In summary, rip and tear!"

She is best friends with the chief Huarinka's daughter Zumi, whose family informally adopted Ainbo after her mother's death. However, the day Zumi is going to be crowned new queen of Candámo, Ainbo is shocked to find two animal spirits, armadillo Dillo and tapir Vaca, who claim to be Zumi's spirit guides against the Yacuruna, the mysterious curse that threatens the jungle. Ainbo runs to bring the tribe the news, but the bumbling spirits don't come to her call, making the tribe believe she is lying.

The girls' caretaker Chuni promises Ainbo to tell her about her mother, who was also in contact with spirits, but Chuni is found dead in her bed next day, and Ainbo runs away distraught. Believing Ainbo to be responsible, hunter Atok goes rogues and chases after her. Meanwhile, Ainbo is told by the spirits that she must go on a quest in order to stop the Yacuruna, which she accidentally encounters as a mysterious, western man with sorcerous powers, Cornell DeWitt, who leads a destructive logging and mining company through the rainforest. After another brief encounter with Atok, Ainbo and the spirits finally meet the most powerful mother spirit in the Amazon, turtle Motelo Mama, which reveals to her that her mother's spirit lives in Ainbo's favorite tree. Motelo Mama also redirects her to the next stage in her quest, the giant sloth spirit Pelejo, who will give her a moon rock dagger to wake up the tree.

After a difficult travel to Pelejo's volcano, Ainbo returns to the tribe with the dagger, but she finds there a new trouble. Atok and Zumi met DeWitt, who claimed to be a botanist, and brought him to Candámo after he promised to cure their illnesses and the curse in exchange for the gold found on their lands. Recognizing him as the Yacuruna, Ainbo tries to warn Zumi, but they argue about it and Zumi banishes her from their tribe. Still, Atok witnesses DeWitt brainwashing Zumi and Huarinka with his powers, so he realizes Ainbo was right all along and joins forces with her. The two use the dagger and summon the spirit of Ainbo's mother, Lizeni, who gives them a blessed arrow that can stop the Yacuruna. The girl also learns Atok loved her mother, but she did not reciprocate and he became bitter as a result.

Lizeni stops the mining company and confronts the Yacuruna while he is taking over the tribe, revealing him to be actually an evil spirit possessing a man named Will. The Yacuruna unleash his powers, holds Zumi hostage, and builds a gigantic mechanical scorpion with his company's bulldozers, which he uses to attack Ainbo and Atok. Though insecure due to her lack of talent with the bow, Ainbo finds her confidence with Lizeni's helps and manages to hit the Yacuruna with the arrow, vanquishing the spirit and freeing Will and Zumi. It is revealed Will is Ainbo's father, and after reuniting with his family and receiving from Atok the promise to raise Ainbo, Lizeni and Will depart to the spirit world. Mending their friendship, Ainbo and Zumi promise to lead the tribe to a new future.

In 1982, 16-year-old Barry Minkow is an ambitious high school student in Reseda, working at a gym and a carpet-cleaning business. He obtains steroids from a gym member named Victor, who gives him a loan to open his own carpet-cleaning business, “ZZZZ Best”. As a teenage entrepreneur, Barry revels in the attention from his classmates and the local news, until his bank realizes he is a minor and cancels his accounts. Desperate to stay in business, he steals money orders to pay his debt to Victor, and convinces another bank to give him an account.

After expenses like a new sports car and expanding the still-struggling company, Barry resorts to check kiting, forging credit card statements, and stages an office break-in, paying a crooked insurance adjuster to ensure a fraudulent claims payout. His overinflated success goes to his head, alienating him from his friend and employee Mike. In 1984, Barry turns 18 and graduates high school, and his uncle introduces him to lucrative insurance contracts for restoring water damage. He puts Barry in touch with Jack Saxon, an organized crime-connected businessman who offers to finance ZZZZ Best in exchange for splitting the profits.

Confronted by his bank over the credit card fraud, Barry and his adjuster form a fake appraisal company to verify ZZZZ Best’s fraudulent restoration contracts; combined with Saxon’s money, this allows Barry to settle with the bank, and his company continues to grow. Approached by FBI Agent Gamble, Barry declines to testify against Saxon. Barry and his adjuster falsify tens of thousands of documents to inflate the company’s value, misrepresenting that they handle millions of dollars in non-existent restorations; in Sacramento, Barry stages a walkthrough for investors of a restoration site where ZZZZ Best never worked.

In 1986, Barry and Saxon take the company public, having illegally pumped and dumped the stock. Celebrating his 20th birthday and his net worth of $100 million, Barry is rebuked by his mother for valuing money over morality. A newspaper exposé reveals Barry’s previous credit card fraud, leading the company’s stock to plummet and banks to call in their loans. Learning Saxon has sold all his shares, Barry holds a press conference to refute the accusations against him, but the phony Sacramento project is made public and his investment banking firm resigns. After a confrontation with Mike, Barry is forced to face the consequences: convicted of 57 counts of fraud, he is sentenced to 25 years in prison, and ordered to pay $26 million in restitution.

By 1994, Barry (now played by Minkow himself) has been incarcerated at Englewood Federal Prison for years. Supposedly counseled by fellow inmate James “Peanut” Long, Barry becomes a born-again Christian. He is interviewed by Agent Gamble about his crimes, and still refuses to testify against Saxon, but is paroled. Hired as a church pastor, Barry is now married with twins, teaching fraud prevention at the FBI Academy. Don, a parishioner revealed to be Mike’s uncle, asks Barry to look into his retirement hedge fund manager, Derek Lewis. Suspecting a Ponzi scheme, Barry persuades Gamble to send him undercover to the Bahamas, where he offers Lewis a fake $5 million to invest for the church in exchange for releasing Don’s funds. Returning home, Barry withholds the bogus investment when Don only receives half his money, leading Lewis to sue Don, Barry, and the church for millions. Arranging a meeting to record Lewis incriminating himself, Barry blows his cover, but Lewis is arrested and Don’s money is recovered.

Real-life interviews question Barry’s version of events, and it is revealed that he defrauded millions of dollars from the church and its parishioners. By 2011, he is serving consecutive five-year sentences for insider trading and embezzling church donations, owing over $500 million in restitution.

Set in 1898, the game takes place in the remote Sker Hotel on the imaginary Sker Island. Elisabeth Williams, the daughter of the hotel owner, sends a letter to Thomas Evans, the protagonist whom the player controls, telling him she is trapped in the hotel. Along with her letter, she sends Thomas a locket that belonged to her mother that plays a tune. She tells Thomas to write a musical piece, a "counter-song", to the one played by the locket, and bring it with him, telling him this will make sense later. After reading the letter, Thomas sympathetically replies to Elisabeth, writing that he was unaware of the difficulties she is going through and that he will board a train to the hotel immediately after he finishes composing the music. Arriving at his destination, Thomas is greeted by a gloomy atmosphere. He makes his way to the front gate only to find it locked and is forced to take a different route to get in.

Getting onto the hotel grounds, a dog guides him into the hotel's garden, where he finds a door and makes his way inside the hotel. After the player enters the hotel, the phone in the reception room rings. When Thomas picks it up, it is Elisabeth warning him about her family's strange behavior. She tells him she has locked herself in the hotel's attic and that her father and uncle are looking for her. She warns Thomas to be careful as the place is no longer safe, and she informs him she is safe, hiding from the others. Elisabeth tasks Thomas with finding four brass cylinders that her father hid on the hotel's grounds. She tells Thomas if they are played on a harmonium, things will return to normal. After exploring the grounds, Thomas soon learns that the people inside the hotel are abnormal, and they cannot see. After relaying this information to Elisabeth, she informs him they seem to find and prey on people on the grounds by sound and advises him to stay quiet.

Exploring further, Thomas finds some family notes that explain what happened at the hotel. Thomas learns the family belonged to a cult called "The Quiet Ones"; Elisabeth's mother Prudence served as a priestess. The cult planned to control the powers of a Siren they found in a sunken ship near Sker Hotel after they looted the ship's contents. Thomas learns from a note that Elisabeth was writing a counter-song to reverse the effects of the Siren. She could not do it alone, so she asked Thomas and three other composers to write a piece of the song. When Thomas learns about this, he asks Elisabeth about the other musicians, she says, "it doesn't matter, we are too late". Later during the game, Thomas reads in a note that Elisabeth tried to perform her own version of the counter-song alone after her father learned of her plans, but she failed and not only did she not achieve the desired effect, she thinks she made things worse.

After learning this truth, Thomas is tasked with finding the other three musical pieces scattered around the hotel. Towards the end of the game, if Thomas finds all the musical notes, and all the cylinders, he is given two choices with which to end the game. If Thomas does not complete either collection, there is a third option that forces him to continue exploring the hotel to find the music sheets and cylinders. Having all the cylinders gives Thomas the option to trust Elisabeth and give her the cylinders so she can perform the song herself. However, having the music sheets gives Thomas the ability to perform the song himself. Either choice has a different ending. To end the game, the player must have completed at least one of the collection.

While inspecting a dilapidated orphanage, the group discover it is still occupied by an elderly woman called Ginny. When she claims she has papers to prove she still owns the property, an argument breaks out, briefly interrupted by a silent and towering man from upstairs.

Ginny then collapses from a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital, accompanied by Ruth and the man. An investor, Catherine, along with a group of potential buyers arrive in Harlow on a large bus, distracting Melody and Dante. Meanwhile, Lila strikes up a friendship with a local mechanic, Richter, and reveals she was a survivor of a school shooting, leaving her terrified of guns. Ginny dies en route to the hospital; Ruth texts Melody before the man goes berserk and murders the officers driving the ambulance, leading it to crash.

When Ruth awakes, she witnesses the man, revealed to be Leatherface, cutting off Ginny's face to wear as a mask. Ruth manages to radio for help before being killed by Leatherface, who makes his way back to Harlow. During a property auction, Melody reads Ruth's texts and prepares to leave with Lila.

In 1936 eastern Kentucky, 19-year-old Cussy Mary Carter works for the New Deal–funded Pack Horse Library Project, delivering reading material to the remote hill people of the Appalachian Mountains. Cussy Mary, sometimes known as Bluet, lives with her coal-miner and labor-organizing father, and feels her work as a librarian honors her long-dead mother, who loved books. The Carters are the last of the Blue People of Kentucky, considered to be "colored" by the segregationist white community. Her "Pa", Elijah, slowly dying from lung disease from working in the mines, is determined to marry his daughter off, at any cost, in order to ensure her future security. But Cussy Mary loves her independence, her calling, and the joy she helps bring people with books, and would not be able to continue as a married woman. While the people of the small nearby town that headquarters the library treat her badly as a Blue, at least some of her patrons love and respect her.

To Cussy Mary's relief, none of her potential suitors are willing to marry a Blue. But when Elijah offers land as a dowry, the much-older Charlie Frazier agrees to the union. He rapes and severely beats Cussy Mary on the night of their hasty and secretive wedding, but then collapses and dies of an apparent heart attack. Cussy Mary is relieved to be free of the burden of wedlock to this distasteful man, returns home to her "holler", and rededicates herself to her work. A new patron on her route, Jackson Lovett, piques her romantic and intellectual interest, but she also soon realizes that a relative of Charlie's, an evangelical preacher named Vester Frazier, is stalking her as she traverses her remote trails, and means her harm. One night Vester tries sneak up on her cabin, and Pa is forced to kill him. Pa knows that Blues can be hung for less than a white man's death in self defense, and that two dead Fraziers — a large area clan — are too much to get away with. They turn to Doc, a local physician who has long been eager to test and study the Blues, and he helps the Carters steer clear of suspicion in return for access to Cussy Mary. He takes her to a hospital in Lexington for tests, where she is poorly treated, humiliated, and physically invaded, but he basically means well and also provides Cussy Mary with food, which she shares with the starving school children on her route, many of whom suffer from pellagra and are facing death.

The doctor's medical tests lead to the discovery that Cussy Mary and her father have methemoglobinemia, a rare genetic blood disorder that results in unoxygenated blood, causing the blue appearance of their skin. Pa is uninterested in a "cure", but Cussy Mary takes Doc's pills of methylene blue, which turns her skin white. However, the treatment is accompanied by side-effects of headaches and vomiting, and is very short-term. Cussy Mary revels in experiencing herself as white, and "normal", for a while, but soon realizes that the townsfolk still do not accept her. Moreover, they are convinced that her change in appearance is a sign of disease that they might catch. When she tries to join a sewing circle, now that she is "white", she is summarily rejected. She stops the treatment.

Everything changes for Cussy Mary one day upon arriving at the Moffit cabin. Young and pregnant Angeline Moffit is one of the only people who unreservedly love Cussy Mary, and touch her — for example, holding her hand. But her husband Willie refuses any contact with Cussy Mary, even eye contact. When Willie was wounded, he refused to accept medical care from her. On this day, Cussy Mary finds a man hanging from a tree, with a blue infant crying below. She realizes the man is Willie, who has appeared Blue in death. She rushes inside, and finds Angeline bleeding profusely, having given a very difficult birth. Cussy Mary realizes that Angeline and her husband were also Blue descendants, and their baby, Honey, inherited the condition. As Angeline lies dying, Cussy Mary promises to adopt the child, and pretend she was the result of her short-lived marriage.

Shortly thereafter, Pa dies just as the mine faces closing, and Jackson ties his life to Cussy Mary's — though they are forced to pay a heavy price as Cussy Mary's detractors invoke anti-miscegenation laws to thwart their happiness.

The game begins with Commander Darius receiving a distress signal from Outpost 88, a scientific research facility. The two controllable space marines are sent on a drop ship to the facility, where they begin to work their way through each level of the facility, where they face off against aliens, robot defenses, and even Cthulhu, on their way to figure out what is going on. Along the way the two space marines find survivors of the facility that they are able to rescue and release to safety. When the space marines reach the final stage, they are confronted by Dr. Herzog, where he reveals that he was behind the various horrors the space marines battled up to this point. If either space marines drank any "elixers" (the continue feature in the game), or if the player used any cheat codes, Dr. Herzog reveals to them that these elixers were designed by himself and they contained nanomachines that will kill the player characters and the game will end with the "bad" ending. If the player did not use any elixers before confronting Dr. Herzog, he will attack the player as the game's final boss where he reveals himself to be a creature like the creatures battled up to this point. When they players defeat Dr. Herzog, the "good" ending will be revealed with the two space marines evacuating the facility.

A young American, Robert MacKay, is in Paris studying architecture. He meets with his American war buddy, Joe Workman, in a cafe. After his friend leaves, MacKay strike up a conversation with a pretty young French girl, Simone Dumail. Simone is part of the Organisation armée secrète, a dissident French paramilitary organization. She alerts her an assassin by phone that Michel Martin has entered the cafe. Martin is a government official who supports independence for Algeria; for this, he has been targeted by the OAS. Simone leaves the cafe and the assassin, Claude, enters moments later, killing Martin. MacKay struggles with Claude as he leaves.

The police arrive, and MacKay is interviewed by Commissioner Paul Favrel. MacKay tells Favrel about the French girl who was on the phone before the assassin entered. MacKay agrees to examine photos the police station to see if he can identify the assassin. The police have also gathered female Sorbonne students who are OAS sympathizers. Martin is asked if he can identify the girl from the cafe. Simone is in the lineup, but MacKay does not identify her. Favrel warns MacKay that the OAS will try to kill him.

MacKay tracks down Simone at her school. He asks her to meet him at a cafe after her class. Simone enters her Shakespeare class which is taught by Phillipe Tabor. Simone later meets MacKay at the cafe. She insists that she didn't know that anyone was going to be shot and warns him that it is very dangerous to identify a man from the OAS. They agree to meet again later.

The story is set in the resort town of Hermoso, in the province of Laguna in the southern region of Luzon, Philippines. A tourist favorite because of its pristine beaches, healing hot springs, spas and resorts, Hermoso was once also a center of religious devotion, attracting thousands of visitors from all over the country drawn to its spas' healing powers and religious conversions. In those times, the townspeople were devoted to their faith. But on one night, a fire burns down the only church in the town, its parish priest killed over a golden crown encrusted with jewels and the church is never rebuilt. Eventually, the townspeople preoccupy themselves with the material prosperity of their tourist town and lose their devotion to God. One priest, Father Sebastian, serves a remnant of the church's devotees.

Fatima Cruz is a member of Dakilang Sinag, a rebel group in the jungles outside Hermoso, who is targeted by the military led by Samuel Cordero. The two are thrown together and fall in love.

Fatima leaves her life with the rebels to marry Samuel and they have a daughter named Joy. Abel, the rebel leader and Fatima's childhood friend, tries to convince her to return, but their meeting is misunderstood by Samuel, who believes Fatima used him solely for the group's purpose. Samuel and Fatima's marriage breaks down when Samuel embarks on an affair with Agatha, a flight stewardess and a former lover. The affair produces another daughter for Samuel, whom they name Sofia. Delighted, Agatha breaks her pregnancy news to Fatima. Devastated by her husband's betrayal, Fatima tells Samuel she is leaving him. Convinced that Fatima is returning to her rebel life, he retrieves their infant daughter Joy as Fatima and her friend Esther are kidnapped by Abel. At the camp, Fatima discovers she is pregnant. After rape and torture by Abel, Fatima escapes and delivers Mira, in the mountains of Laguna.

Meanwhile, Samuel moves into a common law relationship with Agatha, convinced that Fatima left him. Joy grows up with her step-mother and step-sister Sofia. Since Samuel is often away on military missions, the family moves in with Agatha's sister Deborah who claims to have healing powers. Agatha abuses Joy, who also suffers the cruelty of her troubled half-sister, Sofia.

In the mountains outside Hermoso, Fatima, who now goes by her maiden name, Faith Cruz, raises her second child Mira who is born blind. When she hears of Samuel's whereabouts, she leaves 7-year old Mira at an orphanage to find Samuel and tell him about what truly happened. But when she sees Samuel with his new family, she decides to retrieve Joy and encounters her death at the hands of Agatha and Deborah. Fatima never returns and Mira grows up in the orphanage and ten years later heads for Hermoso to look for her mother. She arrives at the resort town with nothing except her faith in Bro. That night, Mira is fatally hit by a car and the only witness is the town's Mendicant, Barang. A miracle occurs when Mira comes back to life. At the same time in another part of the town, after a violent fight with her sister Sofia, Joy drives off and crashes onto a light post. Joy is pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital while Deborah prays over her. At that moment, Joy comes back to life as well. The delusional Deborah takes the opportunity to claim this miracle as her own doing.

The lives of Mira and Joy intertwine when they share the same miraculous experience. Unaware that they are siblings, Joy initially rejects Mira, but as time goes by, finds a renewed faith through her mother's diary and Mira's persistence. At this time, the statue of Jesus Christ, whom they call "Bro", comes to life and speaks to them about their mission to rebuild the church and restore the townspeople's faith in God.

Mira and Joy join up with Father Seb, and together with a handful of people plan to restore the burnt down church in Hermoso. Against all odds and a godless community, Mira and Joy follow "Bro", inspiring the townspeople of Hermoso to find their way back to their faith.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the town's superstitious residents, and anticipating a lucrative source of income, Deborah claims the miracles are attributable to her healing powers, including Mira's restored sight. Mira steadfastly gives the glory to "Bro" as the healer, further agitating Deborah who by this time, has a growing fanatical flock worshiping "Santa Deborah."

A powerful political family perpetuates the myth of Deborah's healings. Simon Advincula uses her crowd draw to support his grandson Miguel's mayoral election campaign. He helps Deborah discredit Mira and Joy through his troll farms. Miguel builds a healing dome for Deborah establishing her church where she can draw financial support from her believers. Deborah and Miguel partner up and use the church as a front for illegal activities such as drugs and arms smuggling. As many more miracles surrounding Joy and Mira occur, Deborah claims credit for all these as Mira and Joy insist that the miracles are all from "Bro". This infuriates Deborah, particularly more so when the girls’ campaign to rebuild the town church conflicts with her healing dome.

Mira and Joy face many trials together as they deal with diverse people with different morals, beliefs and values. They tell the townspeople that "Bro" speaks with them, and exhorts them to restore their faith in God.

When the girls discover they are siblings, they investigate their mother's disappearance together. With the help of investigative reporter, Miss Eva, and a handful of town folks who believe in them, they discover Barang is their grandmother and Fatima's mother. They also learn of their mother's fate. Devastated over their mother's violent death, Barang and the siblings face several more challenges. As they attempt to bring justice for their mother, they struggle with the evil that controls the town, winning hearts for “Bro”in the process.

While the many characters in the story slowly turn to "Bro" the town's transformation from Godless to faithful unfolds into a beautiful story of faith, forgiveness and redemption.

The Norwegian city in which Leonora (Gitte Witt) and Jacob (Thomas Gullestad) live with their little daughter Alice (Tuva Olivia Remman), was hit by nuclear disaster. There seems to be no electricity, no work, nor any food left and no hope. While everybody is struggling to survive Leonora hears about a theatre play – which comes with a warm meal – at one of the few buildings that has not been destroyed: the hotel. The family is hungry and Leonora hopes for a good time, so she buys evening tickets for all of them.

Alice is first refused entry. However the overly charming hotel director, Mathias (Thorbjørn Harr), personally steps in and welcomes the young girl to his "wonderland" (referring to her being named Alice).

The atmosphere is very festive as the building not only has electricity, but also candles, white table cloths and antique furniture. About 40 or 50 people are happy to be seated at tables for the meal, and most are so starved that they directly grab the slices of meat and eat with their hands. Mathias informs his guests that the entire hotel will be the stage of the night's performance. To differentiate the visitors from the actors, all spectators are given heavy golden masks.

A few actors start performing and as the guests are invited to attend any performance that interests them anywhere in the large, atmospheric building, people start to explore the numerous floors of the vast building. Not long after the family started to follow the performances, Leo and Jacob lose Alice in one of the long, dark corridors. They start to call her and search for her, hardly noticing that most of the other spectators seem to have disappeared.

As Leo navigates through the red labyrinthine corridors, she finds odd trapdoors and strange men in white overalls, but no Alice. As the search continues, more and more strange occurrences pile up. Another spectator they pair up with vanishes, leaving behind only a single earring. Leo is haunted by visions of Alice, and eventually is led down into a boiler basement by a trail of clothing resembling Alice's dress, with the missing woman's husband and another spectator joining the search. The trio find clothes being burned in the boiler, and a fight breaks out as Leo remains hopeful they may find Alice. Jacob insists that all hope is lost, blaming Leo for bringing them to the hotel. The other spectator they were with turns out to be part of the hotel's cast and turns on the couple, prompting Jacob to throw himself at the man to give Leo a chance at escape. She fails to get away, finding the hallway blocked by one of the large men in overalls.

It is uncovered that the hotel and its "performance" is a plot to lure in and murder the desperate people in surrounding towns and cities. Mathias selects a few survivors to help in capturing the remaining spectators to then be harvested for their flesh, which is turned into the meals eaten at the start of each performance. Leo is caught, and offered a chance to join the group by both Mathias and Jacob, who seems to have joined him while she was unconscious. She refuses, and Jacob, unwilling to see his wife die, attacks one of the men working in the butchery to save her, being stabbed to death in the process.

Leo runs out to confront Mathias in front of a new audience, now all adorned in their gold masks and already having been given the spiel about the "performance". Nobody believes that what she says is true, assuming it to be part of the show, but Leo acts on her feet, pulling from her past life as an actress. She makes a dramatic speech about finding her daughter, making herself appear to be the most interesting actor, and the new crowd easily follows her. She leads the group down into the kitchen where they discover she was telling the truth, and promptly attack Mathias and the others involved in his plot.

Leo breaks down as the crowd disperses, and believes she is seeing another hallucination of Alice. This Alice turns out to be real, though, and she embraces her daughter, leading her away from the hotel. The pair find the streets outside just as desolate and hopeless as before, and it is next to the body of a starved boy in the road that the two stop, turning back to see a golden light shining down from above on the hotel in the distance.

Akuto Ikurumi is the top of his class in every subject, including sports, and he knows it. The son of a well-known politician, a degree of arrogance is to be expected. But Akuto takes it to a new extreme with his condescending and self-important attitude. The friends he may have had in his elementary years have long since left his side, and it doesn't help matters that his effeminate voice makes him a target of constant ridicule by his "lower class" schoolmates. Then, Nari Harusaka enters his life, and Akuto's controlling personality is thrown off kilter by the optimistic but manipulating young ''seiyū''. With his life on the line, he agrees to be a voice in her Anime Research Society's project for the upcoming cultural festival as the female lead.

A recently divorced father is told he can't see his nine-year-old daughter on her birthday, so he holds her classroom hostage with a gun and a birthday cake.

During Elsa's song "Let It Go", Olaf the snowman is brought to life. Before he can do anything however, Elsa releases her cloak which flies and knocks him down the mountain side until he crashes into a tree. Not knowing who he is, or why he is alive, Olaf decides to find an identity for himself. He comes upon Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna (where Kristoff can be heard singing "Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People" from the barn) and gets flattened by the front door by Anna who exits not noticing him and carrying a bag of carrots (which she will eventually give to Kristoff and Sven as payment).

Olaf enters the Post and meets Oaken. Olaf asks for a nose, possibly a carrot, for his face, but Oaken explains that he sold the last batch and decides to help him out by trying a variety of other objects. One of the objects is an old fashioned view master that features images of "Summer". Olaf is immediately taken by it and wants to experience it before settling on a sausage for his nose.

As Olaf happily leaves with his new nose, a pack of wolves suddenly appear and begin to chase him through the snowy tundra, during which Anna and Kristoff can be heard arguing with each other over the concept of love. Olaf passes by them, again unnoticed, which gets the wolves to suddenly shift their attention to them. Olaf continues to slide and witnesses Anna, Kristoff and Sven making a leap across the gorge while ditching their sleigh. Olaf makes it to the bottom where he spots one of the carrots that gets dropped, but it gets crushed by the sleigh.

Olaf's sausage nose breaks, which saddens him. Upon seeing one of the wolves whimpering pitifully at his nose, Olaf gives it to him, believing that he needs it more than him. The wolf happily licks him before leaving. Olaf comments that it felt like a warm hug to which suddenly causes him to remember Anna and Elsa's time playing together as children. Finally realizing who he is, he comments "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."

During the credits, Olaf is seen coming across Anna, Kristoff and Sven who will eventually give him his carrot nose.

The film chronicles the life of a working-class Ulster Protestant family from the perspective of their nine-year-old son Buddy during The Troubles in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Buddy's father Pa works overseas in England, while the family—Ma, elder brother Will, and paternal grandparents Granny and Pop—live in Belfast.

During the August 1969 riots, a group of Protestant loyalists attack the homes and businesses of Catholics on Buddy's street. The residents of the street set up a barricade to prevent further conflict and Pa returns home from England to check up on the family’s wellbeing. The family attends church, where the minister delivers a harsh fork in the road speech; the rhetoric is continually reflected upon by Buddy throughout the film. Buddy develops feelings for a fellow high-achieving Catholic classmate, Catherine, and they eventually become friends.

Local criminal and sectarian rabble-rouser Billy Clanton approaches Pa demanding his involvement in "the cause"; when Pa refuses, he becomes aggressive and continues to incessantly approach Buddy. Meanwhile, the family struggles to pay off their accumulated tax bill. Pa dreams of emigrating to Sydney or Vancouver, a prospect met with distress from Ma. However, she can no longer deny the option of leaving Belfast as the conflict worsens and Pa is offered a promotion and housing deal in England from his employers. At Christmas, they attempt to discuss the matter with the boys, but Buddy breaks down at the thought of leaving.

Buddy and his cousin Moira attempt to steal chocolates from a sweet shop, but the plan goes awry. When later questioned by the police, he does not reveal his co-conspirators. Following this, Moira recruits him into her local gang, who turn out to be Ulster loyalists that loot a supermarket during a riot. A reluctant Buddy is coerced into stealing a box of laundry detergent before he returns home and informs Ma of his activities. Ma berates him and drags both Buddy and Moira back to the ongoing looting in order to return their stolen items.

Billy then appears and takes them hostage as leverage for his own escape. Pa, Will and the British Army arrive at the scene to end the riot. This initiates a standoff with Billy who attempts a shootout until Pa and Will manage to disarm him. He is then promptly arrested and swears retribution.

Realising they are no longer safe in Belfast, the family decides to leave for England. Pop passes away. Before departing, Buddy bids farewell to Catherine. He later laments whether he could have pursued a future with her despite the fact she was a Catholic. Pa responds that it should not make any difference and, as Granny watches, the family boards a bus headed for the airport. The film ends with Granny being left alone after the death of her husband and the departure of her children and grandchildren.

Six months after leaving Earth, Dee is seething with rage towards the people who ordered the nuclear strike that destroyed Earth. She knows they are aboard-ship, but the way that ''Atlas 2'' is set up, there is no way to contact anyone outside of one's immediate surroundings, nor even know who they are. Other than Dee, the only people who saw the detonation are her best friend, Carl; and Carl’s “sort-of lover,” Travis.

Dee tries to escape her trauma through an immersive game. An unexpected job offer by a designer who asks her help test his new game gives her access to the ship's computer, leading to her also being invited to play elite games. In the game world, she encounters a mysterious guide, who hints that they are there to help her. The game she finds herself in is different than any "mersive" she's played before, and she is shocked to learn that a man she killed inside the game has also died in the real world. When she discovered that the man is a member of an elite society also responsible for the destruction of earth, she realizes that she is on the path to discover the truth.

While Carl helps her investigate, her cagey guide performs seemingly impossible hacking feats to block him, while protecting Dee, and also inviting her to take her revenge on the destroyers of Earth.

As ''Atlas 2'' continues its 20-year journey towards the colony established by the first ''Atlas'' ship, she finds out what the plans are for the colony upon arrival, and realizes that to save what is left of humanity, she might have to do something that risks what remains of her own.

In the fictional Central Plains continent, the kingdoms of Southern Zhao and Northern Yan have been locked in a fierce conflict. An assassination attempt on the King of Southern Zhao reignites the war. However, Southern Zhao is lacking a Field Marshal. At Grand Tutor Guan's suggestion, a tournament is held to find a new one, with each of the eight clans of Southern Zhao sending three warriors to compete.

In the Qingyuan clan, Chu Hun (played by Peter Ho) known as a "deserter" among the villagers, and Dong Yilong (played by Henry Lau), a young orphaned thief, and a third warrior are selected. While traveling, the three are attacked by giant scorpions- Yilong and Hun surviving but the third warrior being killed. Hun explains to Yilong that he and his brother fought in a previous war against Northern Yan- Hun's entire fighting force having been killed by Northern forces after Grand Tutor Guan refused to send reinforcements, and afterwards being labelled as a deserter for being the only survivor. Grand Tutor Guan secretly meets with Wu Yang, a representative from Northern Yan revealing that he had actually been a double agent for Northern Yan, scheming to take down the other kingdom from the inside.

Chu and Dong encounter a young girl, Jinggang (played by Lin Chenhan), trying to steal a totem from another clan, who unintentionally flees her pursuers while being blown away in a sandstorm. Yilong and Hun arrive in the capital city, meeting up with the rest of the tournament contestants, along with Jinggang, who gets in (and loses) a fight over her stolen totem. Hun reveals to Yilong that he intends to kill Grand Tutor Guan for causing his brother's death. While searching for someone to replace their third team member, Jinggang tricks Hun into buying a Northern slave. Unable to find anyone else, Yilong and Hun begrudgingly let Jinggang represent the Qingyuan clan's third member. While sleeping, Hun catches their new slave attempting to kill him. She explains her name is Binu (portrayed by Jiang Luxia) and was the daughter of a commander who Hun's brother killed. Chu Hun promises to let Binu kill him once he kills Grand Tutor Guan.

The tournament begins- during the first challenge, each clan must traverse a web of chains while tied to their team members. the Zixuan clan, Qingyuan clan, and Falcon clan manage to win the round, the rest of the clans being branded as losers and being sent to return home. Chu Hun comes face to face with Grand Tutor Guan but decides not to kill him so as to not have the rest of the Qingyuan clan fail. The three are attacked by the contestants of another clan, secretly commissioned by Grand Tutor Guan, to attempt and kill them before they can reach the finals. Binu, now free, returns to her old slavemaster to free other enslaved women.

The tournament's second challenge is to steal an egg from the lair of the "Beast King"- a snake-like monster bred for war by Southern Zhao, with a crown-like headpiece embedded into its scalp. After the end of the previous war, the monster was abandoned in a mountain. Jinggang accidentally poisons Hun with a flower. Too weak to walk, he explains to his team members there is a cure inside the mountain. The Falcon clan manages to steal the egg, but are chased by the Beast King and drop it. Yilong and Jinggang grab the egg and are pursued by the Beast King, managing to collect the cure for Hun's poison in the process. The monster eventually gets stuck in a tunnel. Realizing the Beast King is in pain from its headpiece, Yilong helps remove it. After Yilong promises to bring the egg back after the competition, the monster leaves the group alone.

Grand Tutor Guan explains to the three contestants that they will have to kill each other for the honor of being Field Marshal. While debating who deserves to win, a hooded woman approaches the group, taking them to the magical "Mystic Forest" where she tells them all their problems will be solved. The voice of Yilong's late father explains that he is the heir to the throne of Northern Yan, and shall bring balance to the Central Plains. Chu Hun, enraged his team member is from Northern Yan, storms off, with Jinggang following. Binu meets Hun in the woods, explaining that she realized she had been more trapped by her hatred of Southern Zhao than her literal chains. Having changed his mind, Hun goes back to find his team members. Jinggaang is attacked by Grand Tutor Guan's lackeys in the woods. Chu Hun attempts to save her, but she is killed and Hun is captured.

Dong Yilong finds and buries Jinggang. He meets with the leader of the Falcon clan and explains that Grand Tutor Guan orchestrated the entire competition to divide the clans and kill the King of Southern Zhao. Yilong asks him to find the leaders of the other clans and bring them back, to hopefully save the kingdom. Chu Hun is framed for the murder of the members of one of the clans and sentenced to excecation. However, Yilong arrives and asks if he can fight Hun, under the guise of killing a traitor. Chu Hun is initially resigned to his death but is convinced by Yilong to continue fighting. Grand Tutor Guan initiates his plan, with Northern Yan soldiers hidden in the crowds swarming the cities.

Grand Tutor Guan orders the King to be brought to a Pavilion, while Hun and Yilong fight through swarms of soldiers trying to reach him. Grand Tutor Guan reveals he had actually built the Pavilion specifically to trap and kill the king. Wu Yang fights Yilong, but realizes that he is heir to the Northern Yan throne and bows to him before accidentally being killed. Chu Hun fights Grand Tutor Guan's dog, almost dying but being saved by Binu sacrificing herself. The rest of the clans arrive to assist the king. Grand Tutor Guan fills the arena with lit oil, in an attempt to steam the king to death. The leader of the Falcon clan sacrifices himself to save the king from the burning pavilion, and Yilong kills Grand Tutor Guan.

After Guan's plan is foiled, Chu Hun is awarded the title of Grand Field Marshal. Jinggang is posthumously honored with a title, and Yilong returns to the Beast King to return its egg. Chu Hun and Yilong part ways, with Yilong returning to Northern Yan to reclaim his throne.

At the beginning of the 20th century, January Scaller lives in a big mansion with her guardian, Cornelius Locke. What may seem to be a privileged existence is marred by the strict rules imposed on the red-skinned girl, the meager living quarters assigned to her, and the fact that her father, Julian, who works for Locke, is almost never around.

When she was seven, January discovered a magic door, which was then destroyed. Her guardian convinces her it was only her imagination, and determines to raise her to be a "proper" lady. Locke entertains his fellows from the New England Archeological Society, and these men treat January as a curiosity, sometimes making her feel vaguely threatened. January often explores the artifacts kept throughout the mansion, convinced her father—who is distant even when he is home from hunting special artifacts for Locke—is leaving items for her in a chest, in order to communicate with her. She becomes concerned when he fails to return from his most recent trip.

January's only companions are Jane, an African mystery woman sent by Julian to be her governess, and Bad, short for Sindbad, her loyal dog. When she was younger, she was friends with Samuel Zappia, the grocer's boy, but as she grew older the contact between them fizzled out.

When January finds a special book in the chest, ''The Ten Thousand Doors'', she is more than intrigued. The book tells of a young woman from the South who meets a young man who comes through a mysterious door. Though the encounter is brief, the girl is completely enamored. When she returns to the spot again, she finds the door burnt down. She becomes determined to find her young man by exploring the world to find another door.

At the start, January believes the work is fiction. But when Locke tells her that Julian is dead, she sparks her latent power to bend reality to her will through the written word. She uses her power to escape what has now become an acutely dangerous situation with Locke and his cohort, and embarks on an entirely unexpected adventure with Jane, Samuel and Bad. It turns out that her story and the story in her book are intertwined, and that the thousands of doors are real, scattered all over our world, each connecting to another world.

Five years after the battle, Rose lives in a tent city near the ruins of London, avoiding resistance forces led by Leon searching for her and keeping the aging effects of her hybrid nature at bay with the help of hyper-oxygenated blood transfusions prepared for Rose by her friend Dr. Mal. A viral pandemic strikes the Pilots and anyone using transplanted Pilot limbs such as Huana who lost both of his arms and a leg while fighting against the aliens fifteen years before. The virus eats the Pilots alive while reverting them back into their brainwashed state. Leon captures Rose and brings her before General Radford who reveals that the ''Armada's'' core drive warped to the Harvester homeworld, named Cobalt One, moments before Rose destroyed the ship. Only with the ''Armada's'' core drive do they have a chance of saving the Pilots. After being reunited with her Pilot adoptive brother Trent, Rose reluctantly agrees to join the mission.

At Cobalt One, the team's ship crashes after a collision with an empty Harvester vessel that leaves the ship running on emergency power. The crew of Rose, Trent, Leon, Owens and Alexi find the planet filled with the bodies of dead Harvesters and strange shadow creatures that appear to be mutations of the Harvesters. Alexi is heavily wounded and sacrifices herself with a pulse grenade to kill the creatures, but the team manages to reach the ''Armada'' where Rose is briefly possessed by the Matriarch, the Harvester leader who accuses the humans of coming to destroy her species. Trent helps Rose to break free of the Matriarch's control and Rose realizes that the Matriarch's telepathic influence was what caused her to freeze and her problems with her powers since. Now no longer afraid of who she is, Rose embraces her powers and steals the core drive. However, Owens betrays the others, infects Trent with the virus and flees with the core drive.

Stealing an alien tanker in order to escape, Rose and Leon discover that Radford had bombed Cobalt One prior to their arrival with a biological weapon, the same virus that is infecting the Pilots on Earth. As Rose and Leon make their way back aboard the ship, Radford uses the core drive to destroy Cobalt One and the Harvesters in an act of genocide. Confronted by Rose and Leon, Radford reveals that the virus was intended to peacefully euthanize the Pilots and to destroy the Harvesters, but it had the unintended side effect of reverting the Pilots back into their brainwashed state. Having boarded the ship as well, the Matriarch attacks, killing Radford and intending to destroy the Earth in revenge. Owens who is being checked on by Zhi, attempts to attack Zhi after he realizes the truth about the virus, but Zhi manages to fight off Owens who attacks Leon and Rose. As the ship enters a wormhole, Owens falls into an energy field and is disintegrated while Trent, whom Leon manages to snap back to normal, knocks the Matriarch in as well, but has most of his body disintegrated in the process.

On Earth, Mal works on a cure in the tent city, but the infected Pilots attack before she can finish testing it. The residents, including Mal, Kate, Grant and a cured Huana, fight back and manage to eliminate the attacking Pilots at the cost of Grant and several others, only to have an army of thousands more approach from London. Arriving back just in the nick of time, Rose sucks all of the Pilots into her ship and informs Mal that with Mal's cure and Rose's ship, they now have the power to cure all of the infected Pilots worldwide.

In the aftermath, Mal transplants Trent's brain into a new Pilot body, saving him. Zhi hacks into Radford's personal files and discovers the location of a prison where Radford had held anyone that he considered to be an enemy of the state, including Rose and Trent's long-missing father Mark Corley. Rose orders a course set for the prison, intending to rescue her adoptive father.

Shinichi takes part in a school field trip to Kyoto with Ran and friends, thanks to the series of antidotes Ai Haibara gave Conan. On the ''Kiyomizu-dera'', Shinichi meets Keiko, an actress and old friend of his mother, who stays in the same hotel as Shinichi and his class, with some university friends with which she shot a movie revolving around a tengu and other monsters. She asks Shinichi to help her to decipher a mysterious code written and sent by their late friend Michio Dekuri, who committed suicide some time ago. A few days before a murder spree in Kyoto, one of the previous members of the filming team who had written the first version of the story killed himself by throwing himself from the top of the ''Kiyomizu-dera'' shrine after he thought he was forgotten by the others since they did not put his name in the credits or so what he thought. On the last day of the pre-open of the movie, Mineto Mayama receives a phone call from an unknown person telling him to go to the ''Kiyomizu Butai''. Heading there, he sees a mysterious and invisible silhouette approaching him with bloody footprints before grabbing him and throwing him over the railing saying that he is Michio Dekuri reincarnated as a tengu after falling and that he'll seek revenge. He luckily survives without any injuries as Shinichi, Heiji, Yusaku, and Masumi already planned the culprit's doings and prepared a mattress under the shrine. Shinichi and Heiji then confront the culprit.

Shinichi, Heiji and Masumi reveal the culprit to be Riki Agata. Dekuri's symbol was actually to be considered as a compass, and according to it, and to the code's kanji characters' position, and to the fact that these characters were extracted from some of Kyoto's streets' and districts' names corresponding to the position, the code can be understood as a succession of kanji characters who correspond to the first or second syllables of the streets' or districts' names they originate, from left to right, revealing messages of murderous intent. Agata tries to run away but gets surrounded by the police who were disguised as visitors. Agata finally confesses to being the serial killer, giving two bumps to his victims, resembling a tengu. Agata asked them for an explanation, saying Dekuri cried unceasingly, and the three men replied they were so happy their plan had worked perfectly, thus implying they wanted to humiliate their depressed friend and never had the intention to put his name in the movie. But Keiko and Mayama turn up and say that the producers had modified some very important typology spaces in the credits, preventing the name "Michio Dekuri" from appearing. As actually the name was supposed to appear across the five people's vertical names, which is why everyone changed names and spaces. Dekuri's name was supposed to appear at the same time, and it did not because of the producers, who did not want to clear up the mistake afterwards for financial reasons. Agata was not told about it as their friends wanted Dekuri and him to discover the surprise while watching the movie together, as they were really close friends.

After the case is solved, Ran talks about a nice place that Soshi Okita had told her about and as Sonoko and Masumi start going ahead, Shinichi holds Ran back and asks her how she feels about him. Shinichi mentions Ran's meeting with Okita the previous and wonders if she has forgotten about his confession in London. In response, Ran pulls him closer by grabbing his tie and kisses him on the cheek. Shinichi moves to kiss Ran on the lips, but the antidote begins to wear off, and he flees. Heiji gives Conan a motorbike ride back to Tokyo, and Ran texts Shinichi to ask him if they are officially dating each other now. Shinichi sends Ran a mail and saying, "Of course we are dating."
