LOVE & DARKNESS is a multi-generational saga tracking the triumphs and tragedies of a large, powerful Hungarian Jewish family during WWII. Based on an incredible true story.
A Hungarian Rabbi, Avrum Katz, and his family face a relentless storm of anti-Semitic oppression in 1941 Hungary. When their lives are shattered by a secret revealed and a shocking act of violence, they're thrust into a world of dark secrets and impossible choices. As they struggle for survival on the brutal frontlines of war, 'Love & Darkness' is an epic tale of family, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Act 2 - In our previous episode, the rivalry between Captain Tibor and Dov over Inga's love intensified, culminating in a brutal fight that Dov emerged victorious, leaving the Captain humiliated in front of his men. Meanwhile, Avrum's oldest daughter Devorah has made a new friend, single mother Clara, who's offered Devorah a babysitting job, while Eden, who faced discrimination in the school band due to their Jewish heritage, is being tutored by family friend Fenric in hopes of securing a spot at the prestigious Franz Liszt school of music in Budapest for a special summer program. And lastly, Avrum and his eldest son, Isaac, visit Avrum's father, Moshe, when Isaac makes a shocking discovery — the Hungarian police are about to forcefully enter Moshe's house --

In ACT 1, we’ll witness Dov Katz's forbidden love for Inga, a non-Jewish girl from their town, much to the dismay of his father, Rabbi Avrum Katz. Meanwhile, Wolf, Dov's brother and a Jewish freedom fighter, returned from Poland with news of the raging war engulfing Europe. Adding to the intrigue, Avrum received a mysterious letter from his estranged father, Moshe, in Budapest, which may hold clues to their unsettling fate revealed in the opening flashforward: becoming prisoners in a Hungarian Jewish Labor unit.
HIAS is a Jewish American nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees. It was originally established in 1881 to aid Jewish refugees. In 1975, the State Department asked HIAS to aid in resettling 3,600 Vietnam refugees.

In Episode 4, McDonnell finally connects the dots. His mother was frantic to reach him for a very good reason. And she somehow called the Institute at their Top Secret unlisted phone number, which she had no way of knowing. But guess who did know that number? That guy with the accent.
Meanwhile, Nurse Fields makes a secret purchase for McDonnell’s future exploits. To keep him safe, or to advance her own agenda? McDonnell is starting to realize that there is a LOT more going on behind that pretty face. She has more than a few secrets.
McDonnell goes on a Gateway journey to search for the missing scientist, before his great skills are turned against the good guys. He finds a mysterious glowing entity wandering the halls of his mother’s facility. He isn’t sure who it is, until the entity talks. Can’t miss that voice.
Monroe is thrilled with the discovery, but the question remains. Where is Bentov? McDonnell has only connected in the Gateway realm, not in physical reality. Being new to this, McDonnell is still trying to connect reality to the Gateway realm. They have to find where Bentov’s physical being is so Addis can rush troops in to swoop him up.
Trying to find some new angle, Nurse Fields mentions Dr. Alexander. Monroe laughs and throws cold water on any help from the mystery doctor. But then a call comes in, from someone who hasn’t been in the physical world in decades. An intriguing message from another time. And a new place to look for Bentov. All this and more in Episode 4. Put on your headphones, we’ll see you there.

"Gateway" unveils a covert operation so mind-boggling, it's backed by declassified CIA documents. Step into the shoes of Lieutenant Colonel Wayne McDonnell as he uncovers the astounding truth behind the "Gateway" project.

When General Addis finds out about Bentov’s visit he brings a quick end to things. Before McDonnell reaches his goal, but not before a piece of shrapnel wings him. The furious General whisks Bentov and his decoys off to various bases. He clips Monroe’s wings and Gateway progress is back to Square One. Then someone kidnaps Bentov. The General sees serious trouble ahead, and unleashes Monroe and McDonnell to do whatever it takes to find and rescue Bentov. Now with no limits, get ready for danger and excitement at the Gateway.

Gateway Act 2
Coming up in Act 2, McDonnell tries some unorthodox means to more fully access The Gateway. Is there really magic in mushrooms? Meanwhile, Nurse Field’s visit to the Institute basement reveals the sad reality of previous failures. Broken eggs from the past, squirreled away from prying eyes in forgotten rooms. We meet the mysterious Dr. Alexander, a man of little charm but many secrets. Nurse Fields spends a little off-the-clock time with McDonnell, giving advice. This right before he goes to visit his mother in an elder care facility. Mom thanks him for his visit the previous week, but it’s been months since he made the trip. And yet somehow, she knows things she couldn’t possibly know.
Back at the Institute the following week, Monroe offers McDonnell extra help searching for the truth about his father. But Monroe needs something in return. Extra risks for extra rewards? McDonnell finally gets info on that Russian base, but at great cost. And he meets some friends, new and old. One named Bentov, carefully smuggled there. Everything builds to a crescendo and McDonnell ends up dodging a German MG-42 machine gun on a beach. Not just watching, but actually there. All this and more in Episode 2, be sure to be there with us.

Imagine a world where karma is a magic blue popsicle. LITTLE MAN is a comedy about a foul-mouthed loser who gets an unwanted "do-over" as an 8-year-old. But to turn back into a grown-up, this little d-bag has 10 days to become a decent human being or he'll stay a kid forever. It's hard to be good when you've been bad for so long. Time's running out. Tick tock!

When high school slacker Zoe Winter signs up to play the princess in her local Renaissance Faire, the last thing she expects is an alien invasion. Soon, however, Zoe finds herself and the Faire trapped inside a massive forcefield, along with her best friend, her crush, a jester who can't break character, and an endless supply of rancid turkey legs. And after the Faire's king is vaporized by an alien laser beam, Zoe is crowned queen. Can she conquer her fear of responsibility and lead a gang of Ren Faire weirdos to save the earth, armed only with medieval weaponry?
