HANGRY: When teenage Rae realizes her stepfather has been stealing her mother's medication as her mother inches closer and closer to death, she has to make a decision regardless of her morality...Quiet. Calculated. Strong. And now fearless. LeRoy will find out who his stepdaughter is when her back is against the wall...literally.

HIDE OR SEEK: Andrew introduces his boyfriend to his childhood friends by playing a nostalgic - and terrifying - game of Hide and Seek. The game turns deadly when he discovers someone from his past hiding in the shadows, out for violent revenge.

GUARDIAN: Two employees get into a hilariously-heated argument when one of them begins questioning his sexual identity. Who's gonna explain this to "The Boss"?

FISHERMAN: A fisherman is at the lake when a beautiful young man rises from the water. Fascinated by him, the fisherman begins an idyllic sexual trip into nature.
