Dubbed "Hell's Half Acre", Decatur is the second most corrupt city in Illinois. It earned its standing as a tough town with more gambling, prostitution and liquor than cities twice its size. Sprawled all around this rotten core were farm towns connected by telegraph and short-hop rail lines. If Decatur was always a wide-open "sin-town", Mt. Zion was always a narrow, isolated back-water where the first settlers died of malaria. Samuel L. Bush was one of 4,000 lynchings to take place in the United States.

When a strange, older, man shows up to audit a college course in screenwriting, the professor becomes suspicious. The stranger turns out to be an FBI special agent, sentenced to prison for theft, and now leading a double-life and desperate to sell his story to Hollywood. Research uncovers an embarrassing chapter in FBI history, with Ed Tickel as the agency's "go-to guy" during the 1970's and 80's for blackbag ops. Mysteriously, the once respected agent goes rogue, and is suddenly caught using his skills to sell stolen jewelry and rob the FBI's own credit union vault. This is the nexus of the "official" and "unauthorized" versions of the Ed Tickel story, part fact, part fiction, and entirely odd.

DENGUE FEVER is the story of an ugly disease swarming over a beautiful paradise. It is based on the actual outbreak of disease carried by a deadly monster, the mutated mosquito. The pandemic can only be stopped by a mad scientist and a burnt-out writer who carries the baggage of a recent drunk-driving arrest, a loveless marriage, and a string of experimental (and failed) cognitive therapies. But the real attraction of this film is the buzzing squad of mutant mosquitoes brought about by Man's hubris and wanton destruction of the Earth. As bad as the outbreak of Dengue, the response by modern science is worse. The treatment is offered as a film to be made in the Hollywood style of decidedly "B" movies, low-budget, drive-in fare, written for Ed Wood to direct.
