Publisher's Synopsis
Collection of made-for-TV movies adapted from Nora Roberts' novels. In 'High Noon' (2009), expert hostage negotiator Phoebe MacNamara (Emilie de Ravin) meets handsome bar owner Duncan Swift (Ivan Sergei) but is at first hesitant to start a relationship with him as she is already struggling with the conflicting demands of single motherhood, her high-pressure work and her responsibility for her agoraphobic mother. She eventually allows herself to fall in love with him, but there is a dark cloud on the horizon as the new couple find themselves being stalked by a psychopathic killer. In 'Northen Lights' (2009), Nate Burns (Eddie Cibian) takes a job as Chief of Police in the small town of Lunacy, Alaska following the death of his partner. There he meets feisty, attractive bush pilot Meg Galligan (LeAnn Rimes) and the two fall in love. When the body of Meg's long-lost father is found in a mountain cave, everyone in town appears to be the dead man's friend - but Burns is certain that one of them has to be the killer. In 'Midnight Bayou' (2009), Declan Fitzpatrick (Jerry O'Connell) buys New Orleans mansion Manet Hall on a whim despite rumours that the house is haunted. He soon starts experiencing the supernatural effects of the dark secrets buried in the house's walls. He must now race to solve a murder that took place a century ago in order to save himself and the woman he loves, Lena Simone (Lauren Stamile). Faye Dunaway co-stars as Lena's grandmother, Odette. In 'Tribute' (2009), Brittany Murphy stars as Cilla McGowan, a former child star who moves into her deceased grandmother's old house. However, her hope for a quiet life there is soon clouded by haunting dreams of her grandmother, an Oscar-winning actress who supposedly committed suicide in the house more than 30 years previously. With the help of her handsome new neighbour, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer (Jason Lewis), Cilla begins to delve into the past to uncover the truth behind her grandmother's mysterious death.
