Who killed likeable paraplegic Phil Harvey and burned a satanic image into his forehead? The answer appears linked to the strange behaviour of his neighbour's new cleaner and bunch of dead chickens. One thing is for sure -- something is very off in the idyllic Sydney suburb of Arcadia.
When the police arrest Phil's meth addicted, satan worshipping son Zane, his sister Karli turns to her old family friend Gary Warburton for help. Gary knows just the man to get to the bottom of this... Professor Israel Wren.

Dread
Mired in the fog and forests of the Pacific Northwest lies Aberdeen, a decaying logging town now mostly known for the disappearance of one of its children: Annie Lamb. For ten years the case has been cold and Annie assumed dead, with no body or suspects ever found. Detective Ellie Harding has now taken over the case from her longtime partner Roy Harper, but never expected that a random tip would lead them to discover Annie as the only surviving victim of a ritualistic multiple homicide by sadistic killers... Who are also found dead at the crime scene. With the traumatized and unstable Annie rescued and a new investigation opened, Ellie's life and anxiety are pushed to the brink by the intense demands of the case and her fractured life at home. As the detectives' search intensifies and suggests more sinister and terrifying possibilities, Ellie and Roy spiral downward as they uncover an unimaginable and horrifying truth about Annie that will lead them into the dark woods surrounding Aberdeen and forever leave them with an inescapable feeling of dread.
Now There's Drama
Marc's only job was to keep an eye on his worst enemy, Kip Pulman and make sure the rest of the school didn't murder him. All while trying to attract the attention of the girl of his dreams, Christie Claythorne. Christie Claythorne is afraid of men. After years of relentless torture at the hands of Kip Pulman she would do anything to escape the deadbeat suburb of Astwright. Armed with her intellect and a plethora of Agatha Christie novels, she waits. When Kip Pulman dies on a drama excursion Marc and Christie are drawn together with only a fifty dollar bill and a few crime scene photographs as clues. Together they hope to bring justice to the boy they once hated (even though Marc believes that hate is a strong word). Hopefully they both get out alive and Marc will win over the girl of his dreams.
