Sinopse

DESERTER IN ALGERIA - A SAHARA DESERT STORY
 
During street riots in Beirut, the ten-year-old Ismael's parents were brutally killed by one of the fanatical fighters with a curved saber. He witnessed it all from a hiding place and swore revenge on the man with one foot significantly shorter than the other. As a young man in the Israeli Navy, one night he spots the same man in a North African city, the man on whom he wants to exact his revenge. However, he doesn't get the opportunity to kill him, but he sees that the man is now in the French Foreign Legion. Ismael deserts the Israeli Navy and joins the French Foreign Legion, hoping to encounter the man there.
 
During an operation in Vietnam, Ismael is struck by shrapnel and ends up in the hospital. There, he meets the girl of his dreams, but at the same time, he also sees his hated enemy in a bed a little distance from him. Due to his injured leg, he can't do anything, but the nurse helps him find out more about his hated enemy. Back in the Foreign Legion, Ismael is sent on another mission, where he loses all his comrades, and then he arrives at another division of Legion soldiers. There, he finally gets his chance after ten long years of searching to exact his revenge and avenge the blood of his parents. Due to his desertion from both the Israeli Navy and the Foreign Legion, he is shortly thereafter arrested by the government, and a judge must decide his fate.

    Prepare yourself for a horror story of a different kind. This monster doesn’t have claws or carry a chainsaw. Instead, it lurks hidden and disguised in a dusty white powder that we keep in our medicine cabinets at home. This monster is ubiquitous, trusted, and engrained as part of our daily routine for over a century—and it is killing us. Talcum powder has been sprinkled on baby’s bottoms for generations and used in deodorants and a host of personal hygiene products and cosmetic for decades. This monster has been kept alive by lies, deceit, greed, and a thirst for power. Jane’s Dust is a fictionalized account of one woman’s struggle based on over three hundred court cases that have pitted cancer victims against America’s most powerful corporations. Jane is shocked when she ends up with ovarian cancer. But that is only the start. She endures doctor visits, surgeries, chemotherapy, recovered only to develop a life ending mesothelioma. and eventually a lawsuit against the makers of talcum powder. Jane learns the hard way about big business and the lies they use to cover up what they know. Nothing is exaggerated or embellished; this it is the reality faced by thousands of people, some of whom may be family, friends, or neighbors. Every horror story leaves us with a cautionary tale, and this one is no different.

    Four years ago, a young heiress survived an attack that claimed the lives of both her parents. The crime made headlines all over Los Angeles, both for the vicious nature of the killings and the seemingly random nature of the attack: nothing was stolen, and the van Aust family had no obvious enemies. Melia van Aust fled the city soon after the murders—which were never solved—but her brother Jasper has not been seen since. After a childhood spent in the shadow of her famous parents, Rainey Hall understands dysfunctional families. She still hasn’t recovered from a tragedy that tore her own family apart six years earlier. It's part of why she started her own private investigation agency—to aid victims of crimes that might otherwise go unsolved. When Melia returns to LA and moves back into her family home, someone begins sending her increasingly violent messages that allude to her parents' murders. She hires Rainey to track down the culprit and find her missing brother. Touched by their similarities, Rainey feels compelled to protect Melia, even as their relationship becomes more than professional. Soon, Rainey finds herself falling down the rabbit hole of Melia’s life. Her quest to find Melia’s stalker will bring her in contact with disgraced royals, seedy neighbors, violent ex-boyfriends, and former staff—each one with their own secrets. As the threats against Melia escalate and the two women are drawn together, it’s only a matter of time before another victim turns up...
