With a healthy paycheck, and the prospect of her hot boyfriend coming over for a make out, there's nothing standing between Dorothy and the most memorable Halloween of her life. Nothing, that is, except for the Poe's rotting comatose mother living in the upstairs bedroom.Surrounded by dolls and her favorite harlequin clown, Mother is a macabre sight to behold. It doesn't take long for Dorothy to determine that perhaps this night isn't everything it was promised to be, and soon finds out that when the lights go off, her and Mother were never actually home alone.As the approaching storm grows, and the power goes out, Dorothy's night of fun and games rapidly descends into nightmare as she is haunted and stalked by the hosts of hell.

The congregation realizes the cultural context in which it does ministry has radically changed over the last fifty years and their approach to ministry has been ineffective.The documentary describes the cultural changes and the impact they have had on local churches. In particular the film explores the declining membership in churches in general as well as the absence of young adults in most congregations.This realization leads Fellowship Bible Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas to re-evaluate the effectiveness of their ministry. In doing so, Fellowships pastor, Chuck Gschwend identifies five leadership mistakes, which define the challenge facing the congregation in re-engaging with the cultural surrounding it..As a result of this time of reflection, the congregation makes the decision to relaunch it's ministry in the spring of 2010; The congregation will move away from away from an attractional model of ministry where the focus is to bring people to church. Instead the church makes a commitment to a missional model, where the church brings the ministry out to where people live. The primary focus for this change will be the formation of missional communities, whose goal will be to live out the Gospel in their neighborhood and serve their communities.The documentary goes on to describe the reaction of members of the church to this change in strategy and the initial results of this effort.

In the United States alone, an estimated 12 million barrels of oil is used annually to make the plastic bags that Americans consume. The United States International Trade Commission reported that 102 billion plastic bags were used in the U.S. in 2009. These bags often wind up in waterways or on the landscape, becoming eyesores and degrading water and soil as they break down into toxic bits. Their manufacture, transportation and disposal use large quantities of non-renewable resources and release equally large amounts of global-warming gases. Ecologically, hundreds of thousands of marine animals die every year when they eat plastic bags mistaken for food.
