Additional info from zap2itExcerpts: "A Clean Escape," set in a post-apocalyptic near future, stars Davis as a psychiatrist trying to help a patient (Waterston) recover from a lapse memory. Based on a short story by John Kessel; written by Sam Egan ("Jeremiah," "Northern Exposure") and directed by Mark Rydell ("On Golden Pond")."The General Zapped an Angel" will star O'Quinn and Elisabeth Rohm ("Angel," "Law & Order"). Based on a story by Howard Fast ("Spartacus"), it's about a group of soldiers who discover a body that isn't quite human.The last one, The Discarded, sounds fascinating.
