Daisy Baby
Genre:
Drama
Synopsis:
Independent, smart and sometimes reckless, Holly’s blazed her way through teen ballerina, model and actress and at the tail-end of her 20s is making the most of pole dancing in a strip club.
When she finds herself pregnant and single, she tries to imagine a new life as a regular mom. She longs for a family, but her wild world seems like no place for a child.
So she hits the road on a small-town dance tour, looking for adventure, and enough money for a new beginning. But her plans go sideways when a one-night hookup lands her in the home of a sexy drug dealer trying to go straight, his troubled teenage son, and the kid’s pregnant 16-year-old girlfriend. The rural McMansion in a chain link compound is no white picket fence dream -- but they need Holly, and for once she finds she has something to give.
But as her new boyfriend’s world of crime threatens to destroy the life they’re building, Holly must use her strength and wiles to protect something that matters: the family she never imagined, but now can’t live without.

A five-year-old boy witnesses the violent death of his father. After forty years of successfully repressing that memory, David Stone's life begins to unravel as he realizes the reality he has created is held together by a web of lies. David begins a search for truth that eventually destroys the carefully constructed myth of his past.
The discovery of a lost diary coupled with the intense need to know how and why his father died drive David Stone to abandon his marriage and his fear. Spurred on by the disturbing contents of the diary, he begins his own investigation into the "closed case" of his father's "accidental" shooting. With the tenacity of a dedicated detective he uses the contents of an old love letter, newspaper files and his own memory to piece together the events that occurred on a cold fall night in 1968.
David soon discovers that a little knowledge can be dangerous. Strange things begin to happen. He meets the son he never knew he had and foils a blackmail attempt. He is stalked by a mysterious stranger and his home is ransacked. His suspicions of foul play confirmed, David Stone finds himself the next most likely victim.
