Finding His Voice - The voice-over business intensifies into a deadly game of cat and mouse between three people. The hunter and the hunted crisscross through the worlds of film, radio, and television--until everything ultimately depends on the sound of a single voice.
The Doctor Is In - A physician from Minneapolis, well-versed in metaphysics, mysteriously barges into the lives of an unsuspecting couple, leaving them in doubt as to whether their weird guest is really a physician. Or is really well-versed in metaphysics. Or for that matter is even from Minneapolis.
Personal Delivery (co-written with Andrew Joffe) - A man asks his dying sibling to deliver a personal message to their mother--and receives her absolute and unexpected final answer!
Every Now and Then - A sunny day, a quaint antique store, browsing through the artifacts of the past. To some, these are the ingredients for a pleasantly spent afternoon. To Frank, it is the beginning of a journey that will tear his world inside out. Is his amusing and puzzling journey down memory lane an actual journey or a careening descent into madness?
School Spirit - After a horrifying nighttime brush with the supernatural, Michelle shakily bolts out of her house and into her first day of high school--a first day that might also be her last. Recorded live in front of a terrified audience.

Review :
A skilled cast deftly presents stories that feature lively, sometimes humorous, adult conflicts. Sound effects are a realistic addition-including a hospital respirator. Laura Van Veen and David Ault are a convincing couple in Finding His Voice as they attempt to murder the woman's husband in hopes of getting control of his voice-over business. Rob Tymec and Niko Gerentes focus on the ultimate dysfunctional family in Personal Delivery, in which they get a little help from beyond the grave. Each story includes original music by Zarr, which adds to the listening pleasure.
