• Friendly Fire: When a grieving mother demands the truth surrounding her son's death in combat, the shocking details only deepen her pain.
• Paradise: The relationship between an interrogator and his foreign subject take several strange turns as suspicion and cultural differences merge with human desire.
• The Fixer: After the FBI raids the office of a powerful lawyer, fixer Ben Gold arrives with his uniquely American brand of Trump-era damage control.
