This is a love story that begins in 1834, on the West Indian island of Trinidad. A young boy is saved by a slave, from a burning plantation house that was deliberately set ablaze. The story connects a brothel to US troops on their way to the continent during the Second World War. The island was the home for three American bases because of its strategically important position to the South America trade routes and the valuable oil fields in the south of the country. US serviceman, Robert, falls in love with a young prostitute, Anna, and together they begin to discover their distant backgrounds are intertwined. The spirit world, through their love, will heal a horrific past. In 1994 Robert's grandson, Peter, living in the US, experiences a deep spiritual call from his grandfather who disappeared in Trinidad 1944. The continuous nightmare of a burning plantation house haunt him and Peter believes these are connected to his grandfather's disappearance. This is made somewhat evident with the contents of an old, rusty tin box he finds in the attic including his grandfather's army dog tags and a black and white photograph of a beautiful woman. On the back of the photograph is written the name Anna. Peter travels to Trinidad, finding the now aged Anna who slowly unravels the story that begins and ends in a graveyard behind a narrow street. This story reveals a simple truth: the present cannot be fulfilled until the past has been healed.

It's been ten years since silent Genevieve has stepped foot in the town where all hell broke loose. Memories of abuse and pain were masked by one thing and one thing only, Ace: the boy who saved her life but died while doing so. He was long gone, resting in peace. Or maybe not. Now orphaned by a tragic accident, Genevieve finds herself back in the incredibly small town of Barren Valley, Nevada, but she discovers that dust and rumors aren't the only thing that remains. So remains a boy, the same one she knew to be dead. So how could he be standing in front of her, staring at her like he'd seen a ghost? Although Ace is sure enough alive, his past is shadowed by bad decisions, gang violence... and murder? Ace is keeping a secret, one so great that it might threaten Genevieve's new life and pull her right back into a world of suffering. Now, Ace's life is spiraling out of control and only Genevieve knows the story of what's plaguing Ace's mind. Can she stop him from ruining himself, or is she already too late? A past written in blood, a house haunted by strange shadows, unexplainable candles, and a lone boy standing amongst it all to save what he's already lost. Through twists and turns, somehow these two have found one another yet again. Some may call that fate. Others just call it really bad luck. © - 2016 (rating - PG13)
