Acts Of Contrition

Synopsis:
A cancer pervades the Church. Hideous secrets, long-kept, threaten the very pillars of the priesthood. Three young mavErick priests are out to change the face of ministry. What begins as a peaceful summer beach retreat turns into a fight for their souls. While the Cardinal looms over their actions - past and present - faith, friendship and the seal of the confessional are all put to the test.

What's In A Name

Synopsis:
Susan Price hasn't had a good night sleep in forty years. She wanders into a bar looking to rest her confused head and put down her bagful of secrets. But when she starts adding up the days since she made a fateful choice, she finds that the secrets that are hardest to keep are also the hardest to tell, and that every day is a frightened double-down on a life she can't escape from. Loosely based on the story of Katherine Ann Power.
