You’ve Got a Mail: 5 Days since I died

by
One night, Raj receives an email from Priya with a video attachment. As he plays the video, Priya reveals that it will be 5 days since she died when he watches it. Two more emails follow, each containing videos from Priya, who tragically passed away just 5 days ago. In these heart-wrenching confessions, Priya admits to being in love with him and living in the house opposite their window. She admits to secretly watching him from her window until the Christmas party, when his girlfriend intervened. Raj’s girlfriend, who used to visit him every day, had been threatening Priya, following her relentlessly, and even making death threats. The last video ends with Priya accusing Raj and his girlfriend of being responsible for her death. However, there’s just one problem—Raj doesn’t have a girlfriend. In fact, a few girls had visited him for the Christmas Party. Was it suicide or a murder? Who was behind Priya’s death? Why did she record videos before her demise? As the investigation unfolds, the police take Raj and his friends for an interrogation, and a relentless cop named Viyanthara starts her investigation. In this gripping guessing game, “You’ve Got a Mail,” secrets are unveiled, motives are questioned, and the line between love and obsession blurs. Raj and Viyanthara embark on a treacherous journey to uncover the truth, as each revelation exposes darker layers of deception and betrayal. Will they find the real culprits behind Priya’s death before the web of confessions engulfs them all?

AVENGING ANGEL: Love and Death in Old Brooklyn

by

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Cassandra Monroe vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.

Surrounded by white men one night, she’s rescued by Mike Borelli, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Although Sam possesses well-honed instincts and a keen eye for trouble, he knows nothing about missing-person cases. Eventually, Sam agrees to help and under the guise of taking a long overdue “vacation,” he jumps on a flight to the Sunshine State. Soon, his real job and the personal favor to his friend meld into a single investigation.
