Plot: Insomniac is the story of a man who made one small error in judgment long ago that cost one man his career, and three people their lives. Cody Russell, former juvenile delinquent and current street hood, befriends Jason Dillon, a bright young man with his whole life ahead of him. Jason and his older sister Amber grew up under the strict guidance of their father Duke, a retired Marine who expected his household to operate with military precision. Amber got married as young as she could to get out of the house, leaving Jason alone to deal with the authoritarian and often cruel guidance of their father. Frustrated by his father's stern parenting, Jason begins the path to juvenile delinquency, and finds himself getting drawn deeper and deeper into a world where perhaps for once, he can be the one calling the shots. There is one last hope for Jason, in the form of Eric Stillman, a caseworker for A.C.E.D., a publicly-funded organization that provides mentorships for at-risk teens. Encouraged by his sister to give it a shot, and provided unconventional incentives by his Mr. Stillman, Jason begins to turn himself around, and soon thereafter, he begins the long path to reconciliation with his father, who dies suddenly. For a long time, Jason's identity was based on the premise of being at odds with his father, and when that was taken away from him, he found himself particularly vulnerable. His friend Cody, short-handed for a job, decides that he can use this to his advantage, and is surprised when Jason says no. So Cody decides that if he wants Jason to come with him, he'll need to get him away from Eric, and he happens to know a way to do it. Cody discovers, completely by accident, a rather indiscreet personal relationship between Eric and Amber. When Jason doesn't cooperate, Cody grabs his camera phone, and successfully makes an educated guess of their whereabouts. And when Cody emails the photo to Jason, he decides to go ahead and send a copy to Eric's boss. All hell breaks loose for Eric and Amber when they are outed, and they soon find themselves with no one else to turn to, and nothing left to lose. And, more importantly, they find themselves paying little or no attention to Jason, and he's able to sneak away easily and go on a job with Cody. The following morning, Amber finds herself leaving Eric's side in a huff, and returning home to find disturbing news about Jason, and she decides that it is time that she finally step up, and do for Jason what she never thought she would ever have to do. Insomniac is a story of a man who wants to be remembered for the mistakes he's made, and the story of a man who always wants to remember his mistakes.

Plot: A group of soldiers out on maneuvers is having a conversation about "triggers" that cause people to want a cigarette. The discussion segways into an urban/military legend about a soldier who is trained from birth to snap out of a seemingly normal existence and into a lethal killing machine when someone utters the "trigger" word. The film takes the audience into a visual story of this soldier, whose romantic day in the country with his beautiful wife is brutally interrupted by a group of thugs who kidnap, rape and kill his wife. But as she is dying, she whispers the something into her frantic soldier's ear that causes a chain reaction of events that leaves the rednecks in a heap of gore...except for the killer, who gets away unseen. But is the "legend" actually true?

Plot: Major Joe Dawson parachutes into Nazi-held France where he is immediately picked up by the Marquis resistance movement. He discloses to the leader, Boule, that his mission is to kidnap the well-protected German General Stryker and take him back alive to London. The plan is to arouse the suspicions of the Gestapo as to Stryker's loyalty in order to get him out into the open. Then, as he is being carried back to Germany for trial, he will be taken from his German guards. The Marquis with whom Dawson will work is Yvonne who will pose as his wife. She is repulsed by his coldness and the nonchalance with which he kills in order to accomplish his ends, but she works with him for the cause. She later learns that Dawson and a woman companion (Ella More) had been in France before on the same mission, but they had been caught and tortured, with Dawson driven out of his mind before escaping back to England. There, he had been confined to a mental hospital, escaped, and was now back on his own to complete his original mission.

When Madden's surveying instruments are destroyed while under Wingate's protection, Ross and Chito uncover the connection between Thurber and Wingate. To get rid of Ross, Wingate insinuates that Ross and Mary are having an affair. Ross knocks him down but is arrested for assault by the sheriff, but Chito rescues him.
