As Rick Matthews sat shivering on the midnight train to Brighton three things dawned on him. He had a lover who resembled a Hollywood celebrity and had the money to match. He lived in a penthouse apartment and had a walk in closet the size of a designer boutique. And he had to get as far away from his life as he could.

It was just a pity it had taken him two years to realise it. Beset with problems from his past, Rick had only intended to escape to the coast for a few days. Yet life has a funny way of throwing you a curved ball; and the one thing he had not counted on was meeting her.

Set in the heart of Brighton’s Lanes, a chance meeting with a kindly old lady and her idiosyncratic neighbours soon draws Rick into a series of adventures that would not only prove impossible to resist but would change his life forever.

Did you ever wish you could actually see and hear Jesus right next to you?

Philly Thompson lives alone with his cat, Irving, in a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago. He worries about his weight, frets about his job, longs to get back with his ex-girlfriend, and wishes his ma would stop nagging him. To you and me, a pretty average guy. To Jesus, the raw material for a miracle . . . or two.

When this ordinary guy stumbles into an extraordinary experience, everything seems possible, except staying stuck in that same dull life. Seeing and hearing Jesus right beside him rocks Philly’s world and reaches beyond him to his coworkers, his girlfriends and his family. Too bad no one else can see or hear Jesus there.

Will Philly be rejected yet again? Will they just decide that he’s crazier than they imagined? Or will they let Philly’s contact with the Divine lift them out of their suffering and light their lives with hope?

Season One, Episode 1

“You don’t have to be a Broadway fan (or gay) to appreciate this work…”

Carolyn Sohier, the Greta Garbo of divas, is giving a once in a lifetime concert that Tim can’t afford to attend. Tim—an overweight, twenty-something virgin—regrets lending the hunky bag boy at the grocery store money that could have bought him a ticket. Tim needs to call in his debts, but money isn’t the only thing holding him back.

The first time Tim met Javier, he was blown away by the attention. As an overweight, twenty-something virgin, he didn’t often—actually ever—get a guy, let alone a hot one, pay attention to him. The problem, Javier is straight; yet he gives Tim mixed messages. Tim can’t get Javier off his mind, unless he is pursuing his love for theater—or talking with his best friend, Julia, about the “unattainable” crushes they share on some of the guys back home in Salem, Massachusetts.

With the Carolyn Sohier concert fasting approaching, Tim struggles to get tickets. If he hadn’t lent Javier the money to, well, have his way with him in the beer cooler at the store they worked at together, maybe Tim wouldn’t have lost his job, and would be able to see Carolyn perform. But Tim’s learned his lesson from all this…or so he thinks.

It has been more than two hundred years since the destruction of galactic civilization by the invasion of the Macros. Althea Ram, exile from a culture which survived the apocalypse, has been searching for answers amongst the lost worlds of the Consortia. Her past failures, pyrrhic victories and dwindling resources have lead her to plan a desperate transit to Elysium, a world which could provide her everything she needs. But the probability of getting there on the first try is very low. And she has no way of telling how dangerous her destination might be.

Because on any lost world, Althea must face dangers; hostile environments, the technologies once beneficial, now warped by Macro control, the decendants of human survivors – turned violent and suspicious by the Macro threat, and even herself, driven by needs she barely controls, or understands.

Northern Ireland, the present day. Derek Tighan seeks help with disturbing visions and finds a man who claims to be Finn McCool, the legendary giant. Finn sulks in Belfast, beleaguered by the nebulous legacy of a simple foreigner named Patrick, but agrees to help Derek as a favor to an old friend.

Together, Derek and Finn set off to find answers. They have powerful allies—along the way, Derek’s friend Iola Prentiss uncovers her connection to a great healing force, for instance—but will they be powerful enough to survive a world stalked by enemies so terrifying that they make even gods doubt the future?

Flickering between the gritty industrial past of Belfast, the natural beauty of the countryside, and even as far as Cleveland, Ohio, This Album Full of Angles will surprise you at every intersection. Lyrical, allegorical, sharp … the Album is an unconventional story of three friends helping one another navigate some of life’s roughest waters.

“A slippery, artful, and mythic piece of prose.” –Erich Campbell
