Two average teenage girls are out on a shopping trip to the local mall one typical, bright Summer day. They get into a horrific accident. One girl is plunged into a deep coma, while the other is stricken with unfathomably severe amnesia; she recalls almost nothing about the world she once knew. Doctors are giving both families a poor prognosis for a full recovery for their children. They say, despite their best efforts, nothing can be done except praying.
Then, one day, an astonishing announcement is made. The girls are eligible to be the first to take advantage of a medical breakthrough the world has never seen before. Scientists are going to take the mind and spirit of the girl who is in a coma and transfer it into the one with amnesia. Then they will "pull the plug" on the first one and let the body die in peace. That way, both families will have at least some measure of a child back in their lives.
Then, something miraculous begins happening. The youngster who previously could remember nothing starts remembering--everything. She notices who she is again...she notices her family...she notices her town is familiar...

DEADLY TOUCH--A meteor hits the Earth...and suddenly everyone is turning into Superman!
A meteorite has crashed into the Earth in a small, Northern California town. One young man is brave enough to touch it; his skin comes in contact with a substance seeping from the rock. Soon after, he discoveres a new power: he can turn invisible. His girlfriend, too, finds that she has acquired a new ability: she is a shape-shifter, able to transform into anything or anyone at will. She discovers this after a random meeting with him ends not with a kiss goodbye, but with a simple brush of her hand against his.
Following this, everyone these two individuals touch, even for an instant, soon find themselves the recipient of some newfound power: some can fly, a few can start fires, etc. It is different for each person. Because we are social animals with the ability to communicate on a global scale through skin-to-skin contact, it becomes clear that governments around the world don't know what to make of this new wrinkle in evolution. But what is clear is that a new type of society must be formed.
Before too long, many people from all parts of the globe are reporting their uniqueness. But this ride will not last for long.
Anyone who has not touched another within 24 hours faces their demise. It is soon fathomed by scientists that we have been infected by a virus that needs to copy itself to a new host in order to survive. However, time is quickly running out to find someone new. There are only so many people on the Earth, and it has been reasoned that only 30 days may remain before the human race dies out!
They also reason that the copies of the virus are linked to the original. If it dies, all the others below it will die with it, like links in a chain. So a worldwide search has begun for that one young man who started it all. They wish to beg him to be a martyr and give his life in order to save the world.
Easier said than done, for just before the meteor hit, he accidentally shot and killed the President of the United States. He is the world's most wanted international fugitive...and he is on the run!

ERUPTION--The greatest force in the universe is about to explode...all over your heart!
Many centures ago, in a distant galaxy, there ived an alien civilization, who used to be just like us...in terms of the way they view love. Passion was a one-night affair, relationships started to break down, divorces became rampant, etc. Soon reproduction was nothing more than a means to continue the species. They derived no pleasure from the attachment to another person.
Generations later, the population began to notice that something was clearly missing from their lives. They couldn't figure out what was wrong, they just didn't feel right. And so they jumped in their ships and began a quest through the universe to look for it. One day they stumbled upon a small, green planet called Earth; a world inhabited by beings they discover are extremely free with something called love and emotion.
They want to learn from us what all the fuss is about, and when we show them--because it has been lying dormant within all this time, due to the fact that they have not used it for so long--it comes out with an explosive force that consumes everyone's existence: body, mind, heart and soul!
