In the opening scene of Strigoi, directed by Faye Jackson (Lump), ex-Communists Constantin and Ileana Tirescu (Constantin Barbulescu and Roxana Guttmann), cold-hearted landowners whom the townspeople suspect of murder, are themselves murdered and buried angry-mob-style. Soon after, Vlad (Catalin Paraschiv) returns to his Romanian hometown after an extended vacation in Italy, and finds that the townspeople are dropping like flies. Almost everyone but him is convinced that an undead Constantin and his wife are responsible, but Vlad and local policeman Octav (Vlad Jipa) decide to conduct their own amateur investigation into the steadily-rising death toll, uncovering a long-buried local history of corruption, racism, and supernatural dirty tricks...

Christine trusts that her doctors know what's best for her. But after several operations to remove recurring lumps in her breast, she's not so sure they know what they're doing. Each surgery leaves her successively weaker and less aware of her own health. Each surgery the doctor promises her that the chances of a lump coming back are slim to none; and yet, the lump always comes back. It isn't until Faye decides to mistrust her doctors that the truth, horrible and sickening, comes out.
