Summary

A heart-shaped gate hangs at the entrance of an old southern home. Legend claims anyone who enters through it falls in love. The history of the house is less romantic. Some call it spooky. Others claim it's deadly.
Titus loves the heart-shaped gate. Ezra wants to destroy it. For Pennsylvania, it was a prison, until Ewan Parish, the man who designed it, showed him it could also mean freedom. Titus and Ezra, Pennsylvania and Ewan, their stories were just the beginning of what went on behind the heart-shaped gate. 
This box set contains the following three stories: 

My Other Half: What is lurking behind the heart-shaped gate? Is it love or something sinister? A house with a macabre past offers Ezra answers about his family, but will he have a future with Titus once they discover the truth?

Penn's Woodland: Years ago, Penn's lover was attacked in the woods, and most think Penn is to blame. Ever since, he's been a prisoner in his home and his mind. When world renowned architect Ewan Parish arrives to construct a secure, enclosed walkway through those woods, he's intrigued by the mysterious, reclusive Penn. Determined to free him, Ewan sets out to unravel the mystery that resulted in his imprisonment.

No Strings: Sometimes pretend is better than real life. That's why we daydream. That's why we read. That's why we play. In a child's imagination, the good guy always wins, and true love is possible. If given the choice between his world and a fantasy one, which would a grieving man chose?

    In Milk Snake, Toby Buckley invites us to look at the world from a slightly different angle, where small things become unsettling if you look closely enough. The poet explores queerness, displacement and trauma through clear-voiced, deceptively gentle poems about fishermen, maggots and bees.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
     
     
     
    It's said the simplest solution is usually the right one—but there's nothing simple about the complications that arise when their primary suspect for the white rabbit killer shows up on Malcolm and Seong-Jae's doorstep, dead and mutilated beyond recognition. All it takes is one body to make their entire case timeline fall apart. 
     
     
     
    Unless it's not the body of their suspect at all. 
     
     
     
    With a suspiciously cooperative Aanga Joshi on board, Malcolm and Seong-Jae take a trip into the white rabbit's past in the hopes of predicting his future. Nothing can divert them from their course—not decoys, not lies, not even the discovery of motives driving the killer's choice of victim. 
     
     
     
    Until one fateful phone call. 
     
     
     
    And a connection that could spell the end for the people they love. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
