Plot: In 1993, Solvay, NY Deputies responding to a missing persons report, found the body of missing James Connelly (18) and the body of Joe Gainard (60's). All evidence pointed to Joe as the killer of James, but before he could leave the scene, Joe died of natural causes. Almost as soon as the bodies were discovered, people began disappearing for no reason other than they were at the railroad tracks, between Railroad Markers 313-330. Ten years later, Michele Connelly, James's older sister and New York Journal Reporter returns from New York City to investigate what actually happened to her brother and the more than thirty people who have disappeared since. From the beginning, her questions and attempts to find the truth are road blocked by local Sheriff Pete Scoggins. His impression upon Michele is that what happened is in the past and it is time to move on. Michele instinctively knows he is hiding something, but what? Michele talks to local farmers to find out more. They inform her that after Joe's death, the Sheriff banned anyone from going out to the Railroad Tracks where the crime happened. They also tell her that over twenty bodies were discovered in Joe's old cornfield after it was sold to a new owner. The bodies that were found date back as far as fifty years since they were last seen alive. Soon, Michele finds herself feeling as if she is part of the story she is investigating.

Quotes:

Michele Connelly: There is no separate soul, or god. Man's action is merely a response to personal compulsions, not from a higher power. The truly rational will realise this while others will not. Death will not offer us a place to go, whether we're truly good or evil. Though the truly evil and disturbed individuals may find that the mystery of the cosmos bends in their favour, as rational is neither there nor here. There is no afterlife, only afterdeath. Life's energy will transform, and the being will exhaust itself from existence. For the few that exist after death, their energy transforms into its own rationality. Which is, for us, irrational.

One Italian officer, Captain Corelli, adopts an attitude of mutual co-existence with the Greeks and engages in such activities as music festivals and courting the daughter of a local doctor. In 1943, however, after Italy surrenders to the Allies and changes sides in the war, Captain Corelli must defend the Greek island against a German invasion.

Quotes:

Iannis: When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But it is!

Corelli: Do you miss me?::Pelagia: So much that I cant sleep at night.

Corelli: I have always found something in life worth singing about and for that I cannot apologize.

Captain Weber: Heil Hitler!::Corelli: Heil Puccini!

Iannis: What on earth you think you are doing?::Corelli: I'm feeling the orchestra.

Pelagia: I wrote to you every day. A hundred letters... and not a single reply.::Mandras: [takes out her letters from his coat] I never learned... to read or write.

Corelli: [upon first seeing Pelagia] Bella bambina at two o'clock!

Iannis: [writing to Corelli] Antonio, I do not know if this letter will reach you, or even if you are alive. Perhaps someone else sent your record, and that is why we found no note. I would like to say that Pelagia is happy, but she is full of tears she will not let fall, and of a grief no doctor can mend. She blames herself for the pain we have suffered, and perhaps the same is true for you. You know I am not a religious man, but I believe this: if there is a wound, we must try to heal it. If there is someone whose pain we can cure, we must search till we find them. If the gods have chosen that we should survive, it will be for a reason.::[the great earthquake strikes]

Pelagia: Why did you save him? Why didn't you leave him to die?::Mandras: I wanted you to love me again. [Pulls out 100 letters] In Albania, I made them read every one of these to me... 'Mandras, I love you,' 'Mandras, I want you,' 'Mandras, when are you coming back?' And then one day, a different letter. 'I don't know how to describe my feelings. It's as if I have been waiting a hundred years to hear from you, waiting a hundred years for you to return. Once, my heart was overflowing with love for you, but now all I feel is emptiness. And I think it was all just a pretense, that I never loved you at all.'
