Cave, The

Synopsis:
Growing up in the 'burbs is tough, especially when you rob a delivery truck filled with beer in a get-rich scheme to get the hell out. With the police on their tail, Howie and Ronnie must figure out how to sell the beer to make the money necessary to get Howie out of town, and fast. Violet and Diana help the guys out, but Diana feels increasingly uneasy about the boys stashing their beer at her secret hideout. As the four friends come together to help Howie escape the 'burbs, they find that the pressures are too much and the help too little.

Dust

Synopsis:
Outside a storm batters her bedroom apartment, but inside it isn't any warmer. Frankie can't sleep, haunted by old memories and pursued by an ex-lover. She tries to start her life anew, only to find that the past catches up with her. Tough, resilient and dangerous, Frankie will fight to the end before she lets the thaw begin. Featuring a hitman, a bearded cowboy under the bed and a plain old dedicated lover, Dust is a wacky comedy with a serious underbelly.

Touch

Synopsis:
Christy doesn't know which way the world turns or why. She is driven to excess questioning as she attempts to understand the nature of right and wrong. Her psyschotherapist, best friend, and her lover all fail her as she mines the question of sexual deviancy. She knows that she must reach a conclusion, but her options are more complex than the world around her believes them to be. Christy must make a committment to a difficult choice or drive herself beyond sanity.
