A lone-wolf spy, the female “Bond”, must stop a Saudi terrorist and a Russian oil tycoon from using a stolen British formula to take control of the global oil market. |
| Synopsis 1: |
Alex Sinjen-Smythe, jaded, tough and singularly focused, goes undercover at an oil symposium to find the killer of a British mole. Little does she know, the event chair, Khalil Hassan, is determined to topple the Saudi monarchy and join forces with a diabolical Russian oil tycoon, Sergei Aznabaev, to control the global oil market.
Alex has encountered Aznabaev before. Their last altercation resulted in the death of her husband, Evan. He perished in a hail of bullets on the Russian’s yacht, The Industrious Bear, while attempting to rescue a British scientist and save his own wife.
Avenging Evan’s death, and stopping the Saudi/Russian plot takes Alex from Dhahran to a Bedouin encampment and from the desert to the playboy yachts moored in Larnaca, Cyprus. Along the way, she has a series of partners foisted on her with mixed survival success. The one person who withstands their partnership is Garrison Lorimer; CIA mole turned operative.
Alex’s adventures include escaping the desert after Khalil leaves her staked out to die, saving the symposium gala from a bomb attack, extracting information at an ancient Cyprus Muslim Shrine, eliminating rogue CIA agent Tess Mitchell, and blowing up The Industrious Bear once and for all.
Finding herself in a familiar position on the deck of the yacht, with guns pointed at Garrison and her, Alex rewrites her own history; kills Aznabaev, Mitchell and Hassan, saves the global oil market and defeats the demons that have haunted her since the death of her husband. |

| Synopsis 2: |
Rebecca Nelson thought nothing of the charming, quiet war veteran who devoured books from the library like the man of her dreams.
Samuel Deacon is a New York Police Detective who loves cleanliness as much as he loves his job. Called in to a warehouse arson case, Samuel has his investigation slammed shut by the US government.
When Samuel deduces that danger swirls about the war contractor connected to the warehouse fire detonation unit, little does he know that it will draw him into the world of Rebecca Nelson and her misjudged and pained date, Dwayne Nowicki.
When Dwayne and Rebecca meet for coffee, everything seems almost fairytale-like, until Dwayne's protective nature kicks in. He follows her home, but when he’s discovered on her fire escape, Dwayne kidnaps Rebecca as much to protect her as to protect him.
Connecting Rebecca to Dwayne, after her friend files a missing person report, Samuel discovers an old turn of the century subway car Dwayne uses as a hideaway in a long-forgotten subway tunnel.
Samuel and Rebecca join forces to search for Dwayne through an underground maze of tunnels connected to the old sandhog past of New York. Can they reach Dwayne before he enacts revenge on the contractor for faulty equipment that caused the death of his friends? How do you stop a war hero from becoming a domestic terrorist when you secretly sympathize with his plight?
Rebecca and Samuel are faced with a choice that few would predict and one that, ultimately, gives Dwayne’s struggles a lasting meaning. |

A true-life drama inspired by the experiences of Detective Roger Shakespeare, the first transgender police officer in Canada to transition his gender while enduring death threats and discrimination, as his team of detectives undertakes a major drug investigation. (Life Rights Secured) |
Synopsis3: |
Roger, a decorated police officer, lives out his father’s dream of working for a metropolitan police department. The father of three children by his first marriage, Roger is married to the one person he thought would share his burden; Brenda, a woman sexually excited by her husband wearing women’s clothes. Instead, Brenda uses the exposure of his secret as a means to control him.
Roger is the road boss to a group of elite Detectives who work in conjunction with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A mix of young officers and grizzled veterans, the group is an anchor in Roger's life.
While working on simultaneous surveillance jobs, Roger slips up and his secret is exposed to potentially two fellow officers. Several days later, a headline in the paper outs him as the first transgender police officer in the country.
The article destroys his life. With nowhere else to turn, Roger enters the Gender Identity Clinic Program. He commits to transition while fighting to stay on the team, an unpopular decision that results in disownment by his family, and death threats from his fellow officers.
With the support of the Clinic and a co-worker, Detective Jennifer Heward, Roger transitions to become Detective Roz Shakespeare. Left to fend for herself during a major drug bust at a secluded farm, Roz is determined to find the courage to stand up to the very people who loved the man she once was, while becoming the woman she always knew she should be. |
