Nicki Daniels owns a home appraisal business, but real
estate is her true passion: she lives for open houses
and really knows her way around a floor plan. And
especially at this juncture of her life, real estate has
come to signify the stability she is trying to build
with her teenage son, Cody, and her much younger
boyfriend, Jake. She's finally ready to find the perfect
house for the three of them and work on a new business
venture with Jake that she thinks will jump-start their
lives together. Meanwhile, Ronnie, a longtime inmate at
a nearby correctional facility, is getting some good
news for once - there was a mistake in his sentencing,
and he's finally eligible to get out of prison. Ronnie
decides his best option to avoid homelessness is to move
in with his estranged daughter: Nicki. Even though they
haven't spoken in years, her door is always open to him,
right?

Of
Stillness and Storm: Michele Phoenix
It took Lauren and her husband ten years to achieve
their dream - reaching primitive tribes in remote
regions of Nepal. But while Sam treks into the Himalayas
for weeks at a time, finding passion and purpose in his
work among the needy, Lauren and Ryan stay behind, their
daily reality more taxing than inspiring. For them, what
started as a calling begins to feel like the family's
undoing. At the peak of her isolation and disillusion, a
friend from Lauren's past enters her life again. But as
her communication with Aidan intensifies, so does the
tension of coping with the present while reengaging with
the past. It's thirteen-year-old Ryan who most keenly
bears the brunt of her distraction.

Privileged: Emily Hourican
In an exclusive all girls' secondary school, they become
friends. They choose the same university, and through
smoke-filled nights, lectures, sexual encounters and
first loves, their bond deepens: a friendship which
seems like it will last for evermore. But then, at
an end-of-year party, something happens which changes
everything. Afterwards, they drift apart. Now Stella, a
lawyer in New York, lives for her work; Laura, a
struggling journalist in Dublin, is still waiting for
the scoop to kick-start her career; while Amanda, broken
and beautiful, lives a life of slow decay in London.
Then the phone call comes which brings them back
together, to the friendship they swore would last, and
the night when it all went wrong.
