Hope Killed Him: Main Street’s Secret

Betrayed by the people he saved, Ethan discovers he can see snarky, prophetic comments floating above his neighbors’ heads—exposing every secret, lie, and backroom deal in Maple Heights. When he’s framed for skimming redevelopment money, the town turns on him, and his girlfriend Savannah seizes her shot at power by becoming the new ‘heroine.’ But Ethan holds a trump card: a life-changing deal that could turn the entire town into millionaires—if only they hadn’t stabbed him in the back. With a ruthless real estate mogul closing in and his loyalty tested to the breaking point, Ethan must decide: fight for the people who betrayed him, or walk away forever and let them face the fallout? When trust is shattered and ambition rules, who will have the last laugh?

Death couldn’t keep him down. When Robert Hastings, the battle-scarred Mayor of Silver Hollow, rises from his own funeral—young, fierce, and burning with unfinished vengeance—his city is shaken to its core. Haunted by the ghosts of fallen brothers, hunted by traitors, and thrust into a high-stakes game of politics and blood, Robert must decide who to trust as he claws his way back to power. With every alliance fragile and every old friend a possible enemy, one question echoes through the halls of power: can the man who came back from the grave save the city that mourned him—or will his second chance end in even deeper betrayal? When vengeance demands blood, will justice—or love—survive?

Death doesn’t rest easy in Maple Hollow—especially when a red coffin surfaces and its treasures are stolen by greedy hands. Antique dealer Mason Calhoun thought the crimson-stitched shoes he took home were just another oddity, until a wealthy buyer dies in agony and a preacher warns him of a vengeful spirit with no traceable evil. As Mason fortifies his shop with every charm and memory his grandmother left behind, something relentless claws at the walls, calling his name in the night. With protection failing and footprints appearing where none should be, Mason faces a chilling question: can he outwit a ghost that leaves no warning—or will he be next to join the dead?

Fifteen years after Rachel's 'suicide,' a mysterious blackmailer resurfaces, threatening to expose Caleb and Jason's darkest secret: they pushed her off the roof to save themselves.

In this small-town Midwest nightmare, only one of them will survive the final reckoning.

Every defeat dims Caleb Morrison’s hope—until a parade of uncanny lookalikes, each named Carter, crash into his rain-soaked world with wild schemes and stubborn dreams. As rival gangs close in, a sharpshooting strategist, a scrappy accountant, and a fearless scout join his fight, each rewriting what it means to lead, survive, and start over in Maple Heights. But it’s the haunted Carter Jennings, carrying secrets and sorrow, who delivers the real game-changer: a radical plan to give the land—and hope—back to the people. Can Caleb unite the Carters, outwit his rivals, and finally break the cycle of seven failures, or will the old ghosts of Silver Hollow win again? When the lanterns go out, who will light the way home?

Death isn’t the end in Maple Hollow—it’s where secrets begin. Stripped of his power, a young exorcist scrapes by in a haunted mountain town, helping locals with petty hauntings and living in the shadow of his mentor’s mysterious death. But when two desperate spirits beg him to save their daughter—possessed and chained in a ghost-filled town—he’s forced to face an evil that blurs the line between the living and the dead. With a vengeful ghost as his only ally and a preacher whose faith runs deeper than blood, the exorcist must unravel the mystery behind a girl who feeds on his blood and a town where everyone but her is dead.

Some stories unfold behind a counter, where the scent of lavender masks heartbreak and the real drama plays out in whispered arguments and silent tears. In Maple & Fern Gifts, the shopkeeper is just a background character—or so she thinks—until Lexi Morales, the town’s 'troublemaker,' stumbles in with secrets hidden beneath a battered beanie. Between on-screen social commentary only she can see and the sharp ache of old wounds, the shopkeeper’s small acts of kindness ripple outwards: soothing public humiliation, patching up uneven hair, and offering quiet dignity where none is given at home. But when a humiliating scandal sends Lexi running into the night, the shopkeeper must decide if she’ll stay on the sidelines—or step into the story herself. What happens when the side character refuses to let a girl disappear? And can quiet kindness rewrite the script everyone else is determined to follow?

Faith is forbidden here—break the rule, and something worse than eviction comes for you. When I moved into this dirt-cheap Ohio apartment, all I wanted was a fresh start among the forgotten and unlucky. But the landlord’s single, ironclad command—no faith, no prayers, no hope—hung over us like a curse. The other tenants obey in terrified silence, but when I question why, they turn on me, desperate and afraid. Only Mark from 602 dares to explain: every year, the memorial vigil brings madness, deaths, and secrets that vanish with the bodies. But tonight, as the air thickens and a stranger from 701 warns me to run, I realize the building’s real horror isn’t what’s buried underneath—it’s what everyone’s hiding. If faith is the beacon that awakens evil, what happens when doubt is all you have left? Will I survive the night, or become the next name no one remembers?

Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than a quiet town is the neighbor next door. When the beloved deli couple is found murdered, I’m not mourning—I’m celebrating. But as my noodle shop explodes with drama, old alliances crumble, and my rivals wage war with trash, lies, and the law. Betrayed, sabotaged, and nearly ruined, I risk everything to fight back in a battle where justice is slow, and revenge is petty. When the truth goes viral, the tables turn—but at what cost? In a town where everyone has secrets, can I outlast the chaos, or will their final move destroy me for good?

One wrong move, and Maple Heights will never forgive or forget.

When a senator’s twisted heir shatters a farm girl’s body and soul, Maple Heights turns a blind eye—except for one cop.

But as secrets bleed and power shields the guilty, can Derek bring justice to a girl whose only crime was honesty?

Death was supposed to be Savannah's escape, but it only made her a legend. When she begged Caleb Monroe to toss her body in Maple Creek—no clothes, no fuss—she never imagined she'd return as the wolf in a patchwork jacket, saving the town that once mourned her. Now, Maple Heights whispers about miracles and spirits, while Caleb—now mayor—faces a flood, a political trap, and the haunting memory of the girl he lost. As Savannah navigates a world split between the living and the wild, secrets threaten to unravel: a staged death, a love that won't let go, and a rival determined to claim both the mayor and his fate. With every rescue, every moonlit secret, Savannah is pulled closer to the truth—can she ever truly leave, or is she destined to save the man who buried her? When the floodwaters rise and hearts collide, who will be left standing on the riverbank?
