- Leah, a freshman at Nolan University, is struggling through life, haunted by memories of her tragic past. 10 years prior, her parents were brutally murdered. The only clue left behind by the shadowy murderer was a quote by Edgar Allan Poe. Now, people in Leah's life are dying mysterious deaths, and once again Edgar Allan Poe poems are left at the crime scenes. Has the Dark Figure from Leah's past come back to haunt her yet again? Leah must make the connection between her past and her present, and learn to trust her instincts once again before it is too late.
- The documentary film "Over the River...Life of Lydia Maria Child, Abolitionist for Freedom" is the first of its kind to present abolitionists in the light they deserve. Lydia Maria Child (pronounced Mariah) is best known for her Thanksgiving Day poem, turned song, "Over the River and Through the Woods to Grandmother's House We Go," but she was much more than a poet. The epic film highlights the major literary contribution Child made through those tumultuous times to forge change that brought about the first Civil Rights Movement in America. The actress Diahann Carroll's mellifluous narration sets the tone of the film from the beginning to the end-immersing the viewer into "the times;" leaving the viewer wondering why wasn't Child and the abolitionists given more credit for such a major undertaking as abolishing slavery in America. The film brings Child to a general audience yearning for American history that gives them heritage beyond the scope of dead presidents and the American Revolution. The film gives the audience another purpose of being proud to be an American.
