In "The Middle of the Night," a quiet watch repairman is handed a strange timepiece by a shadowy stranger—only to discover that turning its hands lets him travel through time. When he leaps to 1575 to steal the French king’s jewels, he soon learns that some moments aren’t meant to be revisited, and that time itself has a way of keeping its secrets.
In "Voodoo," two detectives with clashing views on the occult chase a blackmailer who claims supernatural power.
