    Who is The Knock-Knock Man?

A ghost, a killer, or simply a creepy urban legend?

It is a question that haunts disgraced police officer, Ali Davenport, months after the devastating case that changed
her life. Now, after the death of her former colleague, Ernie, Ali must uncover the truth about a past that won’t stay buried.

Found in the disused office building where he worked, Ernie’s death seems to be an open-and-shut case. But not everyone is convinced. Wild stories abound about a supernatural presence that might have attacked Ernie that fateful night. Reluctantly, Ali agrees to take on Ernie’s night shifts to debunk the story; an easy enough job, if you don’t believe in ghosts. But then Ali meets Will, a teenage ghost hunter who claims to have evidence on film…

As the mystery unfolds, Ali is forced to face the question of The Knock-Knock Man one last time. But what Ali doesn’t know is The Knock-Knock Man has already been watching her for a very long time…

    Jeannie is in trouble. After the loss of her husband, everyone around her is pressuring her to leave her precious farm, including an incredibly persistent realtor who won’t name her client. But when that realtor ends up dead, killed by mistake when she borrows Jeannie’s car, it becomes clear that her client won’t take no for an answer. Who wants Jeannie’s land so badly that they are willing to kill her for it? And why her farm when there are plenty around her for sale? To find the answer, Jeannie joins forces with off-duty cop Derek and finds refuge with the young back-to-the-land tenants who rent a section of her farm. Set in her ways at 60, Jeannie must learn to open her mind — and her heart — in her quest to find the killer, all while grappling with ghosts from her past and wrestling with the question of land transfer and ownership. Will the next generation love her farm as intensely as she does? And will she survive long enough to find out?
