A Luke of All Ages follows the life of the main character, Luke, who grew up in Catholic, working Pittsburgh and finds himself wondering about his strange perspective on life in scenes that weave back and forth from childhood through adulthood. Though he endures many of the pivotal events that might define anyone's life as he grows older, he somehow feels ageless inside. This tension between what the world sees, and what he is, fuels a constant source of struggle for him and his relationships with others.
Fire and Ice revolves around two main characters: a man (Tom) who was raised in a traditional Catholic house and attended a Catholic school, and a woman (Anne) who was raised without the influence of any organized religion, and was home-schooled. Tom becomes less engaged in following the Catholic tradition as he grows older, while Anne becomes curious about religion in general and is eager to learn more about it. Their paths cross and they become intimate, each offering to the other a world view they had been missing. Apocalyptic weather events add tension to the story, testing both characters' resolve in adapting to a changing world.
