3. THE SACRIFICE – A middle-aged alcoholic steps away from the bar for the latter part of an evening to follow a townie that is unanimously disliked by the community, leading himself head-first into an unexpected mission.
4. BEHIND SCOTT’S HOUSE – A 3rd grader moves to a new town and makes a new friend, only to discover his horrific environment controlled by two unsettling guardians.
5. FOUR SESSIONS IN – A woman in her late 30’s consults with a therapist about problems in her marriage as a shocking scenario is later revealed.
6. ANITA – A slew of unexpected murder-suicides occur within a small area of Los Angeles, all linked to one mysterious and seemingly untraceable suspect.
