Spectral Rewind: The Class of '81
As the atypical small southern town, Baymont, Alabama holds but one unique, albeit tragic distinction; that being the mysterious, grisly murders of two former high school standouts the night of the Class of '81's twenty-fifth reunion.
Hoping to shed new light on the bizarre, quasi-supernatural circumstances surrounding the twin slayings, a documentary filmmaker and his crew descend upon the town amid a general indifference from the locals, the majority of which regard all media-related types as little more than predatory blood-mongers and publicity seekers.
However, as filming progresses and interviews with former classmates of the victims reveal a dark, sinister flipside to Baymont's tranquil surroundings, the identity of a possible killer begins to take shape, unlocking not only the shocking secret to the reunion night murders, but also the horrid truth behind a similarly gruesome cold-case from twenty-five years earlier.

Blind Faith
Meet Frances Dedman, aka Faith DuQuayne, who works part-time, reading tarot cards on Brighton Pier.
It's July 2005 and the eyes of the world are on London. Normally the disappearance of a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl in a nearby seaside town would be headline news, but the July 7th bombings have consigned Natalie Parrish's disappearance to the inside pages.
When Natalie's father hires a private investigator, the police aren't happy about a blind girl and her ex-policeman uncle nosing around, but fighting terrorists is draining their people away, and they need all the help they can get, especially when a second wave of attacks and the shooting of an innocent man stretch them to breaking point.
The police would be even less happy about her involvement if they knew the truth about Frances' blindness, but not even being to ‘read' other people can keep her safe. In fact, her blind faith in her ability may be the biggest danger of all...
