Kite Festival of Love

In the town of Seaside, music teacher Hannah Adams, a hometown girl, will get a new neighbor when the McQueens sell their house down the beach, Mrs. McQueen - Margaret - who was Hannah's piano teacher and who imparted that love of music on Hannah. It isn't until the new owners move in that Hannah discovers they are the McQueens' widowed son, woodworker Gavin McQueen, and his adolescent daughter, Parker McQueen, the move back to Seaside following Gavin's wife's death to be closer to family. The move coincides with the town's imminent kite festival, Hannah who became champion following Gavin's move away. As the McQueens and Hannah prepare for the festival to see who between Hannah or Gavin will emerge victorious, they help each other with an issue in their respective lives, Hannah to give Parker music lessons, during which Parker not only bonds with her new music teacher but with Hannah's pet dog, Rusty, and Gavin to build a custom table from reclaimed wood for Hannah's sister and brother-in-law, restaurateurs Shirley and Brian, for their tenth wedding anniversary which falls on the day of the festival. While Hannah has never actively sought out romance, she can admit that she is falling for the whole package that is Gavin, which includes Parker, and believes the feeling mutual from both Gavin and Parker. However, she may be misreading the signs, especially as Gavin's aggressive high school sweetheart, lawyer Katie Longhorn, is back in his life implying that she is his girlfriend.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
