Morgan's Acre

Morgan Dalhousie is a respected architect in a small city with all the trappings of middle class success, including an acre of land passed down through the generations to eldest son. With the land came a burden of responsibility tied to a foreboding legend that Morgan would be wise to keep secret. This and his idealistic values result in a mental breakdown and a fall from which he struggles to ascend. During his recovery he is assisted by 'The Chief' an other-worldly being who, though benevolent, has his own agenda to fulfill. Rebecca, his loving wife whose patience is running out due to the prospect of financial ruin brought about by Morgan's idealism, strange behavior and his interest in the lovely Julie next door, is in turmoil trying to hold the family together. All the while, developers and neighbors are scheming to take possession of Morgan's acre. Rebecca's loyalties are challenged and the Chief's interference only makes things more difficult.
