"Chasing Butterflies"
How do you kill havoc incarnate? A micro-organism survives a chance flight into the earth's atmosphere and turns into a predator with devastating power and no understanding of its inherent threat to humankind... nothing that can stop it. Four total strangers from different walks of life will meet in a Florida town for their own reasons and end up on a mission; find the outbreak, stop it, kill it. Their decisions and outcome will either save or destroy the populace.
"Dead Boy Walking"
When a local high school student is murdered, his friends rally together to find his killer, but they get help from an unexpected source - their dead friend - who is having issues himself as he struggles with existing between life and death, trying to figure the origin of a ring that has supernaturally attached itself to his finger and glows bright amber, and fighting an unseen adversary who wants to bring him back where he belongs - dead. All of these are intertwined with each other, he just doesn't know it.
