Linnbert "Cheese" Oliver, hard-luck high school basketball hero in the Northwest town of North Fork, is missing on a late-night ferry. And for real estate agent Ernie Creekmore, his father figure, friend and former coach, the news hits hard.

Ernie's suffered too much loss and pain in his life — his wife, a state basketball championship, a mysterious medical malady — and he just can't accept the idea that Cheese might have taken his own life. Working with sheriff's detective Harvey Johnston, Ernie uses his contacts in real estate and hoops to trace Cheese's movements.

Meanwhile, hints at possible foul play turn up in pieces of North Fork's rough-and-tumble history in fishing, logging and railroading, and the past and the present violently collide in a series of heart-stopping moments that peel back layers of greed, secrets and twisted family ties that refuse to stay buried.

One actor, one confined set, one uncertain outcome. That's the intriguing premise of this film. And while I appreciate the artistry that went in to making it, the storyline is simply too improbable to make it worth the effort to see it.

When a mysterious cult moves in on the outskirts of Toussaint, it's up to Du Pré to investigate whether the members are merely eccentric — or murderous …

The Eides have owned cattle in Montana since 1882, but a few days after they pull up stakes and sell their property, their homestead goes up in flames. When Gabriel Du Pré arrives on scene, nothing is left but the ashes. A serene young man appears, insisting that the fires were set purposefully and firmly asking Du Pré to leave. He is a representative from the Host of Yahweh, the millennial cult that has purchased the sprawling ranch on the edge of the Badlands, and arson is just the beginning of their suspicious behavior.

At first the people of Toussaint try to ignore the secretive cult. But when Du Pré gets a tip from an FBI contact that seven Host of Yahweh defectors were recently shot to death, he takes another look at the glassy-eyed conclave. Behind their peaceful smiles, great evil lurks.

Daisy Savage has one goal when she signs up to volunteer at her daughter's high school: get her hours done and go home. But that's before she discovers the school's computer lab has been robbed over the weekend, leaving a shell-shocked staff and a computerless student body. What starts out as a week of helping around the school's office quickly turns into Daisy scrambling to put together a last-minute fundraiser to buy new equipment.

As she struggles to get the event off the ground, she's sidelined by the discovery of some strange going-ons at the school. Why do so many staff members seem to have access to the school on the weekends when it's been declared off-limits by the school president? Why is the leader of the PTA so interested in purchasing new computers? And why does the computer teacher seem happy that the computers have vanished?

The pressure mounts for Daisy to pull the fundraiser together just as Jake, her easygoing husband, attempts to put the brakes on her amateur sleuthing. To make matters worse, she has to contend with an angst-filled teenager who refuses to be seen with her at school, three other kids who miss her at home, and her best friend's husband, who is eager to help crack the case by putting his pseudo-detective skills to the test.

Will Daisy discover the truth about what happened to the school's computers? More importantly, can her family survive another mystery with Daisy firmly planted in the thick of things?
