Mick Callahan is a man with a mission - to get
his life back on track. The once prosperous L.A. media "shrink"
with the muscular arms and killer grin lost it all, the house,
the women, the fame, the fortune. Booze, drugs and his own
misguided ego left him bankrupt and disillusioned. Now sober
and humbled by the necessity of accepting a low paying radio
show "fill-in" job, he finds himself facing the Memorial Day
weekend in the small desert town of Dry Wells, Nevada (second
only to Roswell, New Mexico, in UFO sitings). The irony of the
situation is not lost on Mick; he grew up not far from here on
a small ranch in the high desert. It was a tough childhood and
he'd rather not remember it. He can't wait to finish his gig
and "get outta Dodge." The plan is simple; field some calls,
answer some questions, collect the measley $300 bucks, and
drive back to L.A. for some promising auditions and a
"comeback." But a young, very troubled female caller turns out
to be the daughter of Lowell Palmer, the richest and most
powerful rancher in the county. When she ends up dead at the
"Memorial Day" picnic, Mick is pulled into a small-town
"who-dunnit," where everyone is a suspect.
In Eye of the Burning Man, when child pornographers kidnap
Mick's maid's young nephew, and a crack whore asks Mick for
protection, he is happy to leave the studio to mix it up
with the lowlifes—-but what if he's being set up for a
lethal case of revenge?
And in One of the Wicked, Mick is doing a pal a favor.
Bud Stone owes money to a gangster named Big Paul Pesci.
He’s worried about his ex-girlfriend and asks Mick to keep
her safe. But when Stone rips off a drug dealer to pay
Pesci, the situation explodes. The girl disappears and Mick
finds himself caught between the police and the Russian Mob.

In October, of 1993 a small Special Ops team roped down in
Somalia to assassinate a cult leader. The mission went
horribly wrong. Their leader was killed, the medic shot in
the spine. Only two of the D-Boys, Red Burke and Scotty
Bowden, came away unscathed. The aging soldiers now live in
the LA area. Wheelchair bound 'Doc' is employed by the
Coroner's office, Bowden is steadily a deteriorating cop on
the take and Burke works both sides of the law to cover his
wife’s medical bills. When famous horror novelist Peter
Stryker is found dead, Burke is hired to investigate why a
man would commit suicide by butchering his own body. The
trail rapidly leads Burke to embrace an old lover, confront
a vicious drug lord, and finally recruit his friends to stage
one last mission against a mysterious cult with plans to
unleash a deadly virus.

Unemployed actor Jack Wade takes his comatose wife to an
isolated spot in the mountains, a place where a man once
murdered his entire family. Frankie was a successful movie
producer, but now they have run out of money. This dilapidated
cabin is all they have left. As the long, lonely nights
stretch out before him, Jack's dreams overflow with
nightmarish images. The isolation loosens his grip on reality.
He believes Frankie is capable of leaving her bed and moving
around. And as Jack falls apart inside the cabin, someone or
something else begins stalking the woods outside. Is the
mountain evil, the cabin haunted? Or is poor Jack just going
insane? Dead and Gone is a relentless, non-stop exercise in
terror.
