Ещё через несколько дней по нелепому стечению обстоятельств при взрыве бензоколонки погибают три лучших друга Дерека. После этого ему приходит в голову ужасная для мужчины-модели мысль: а что если смысл жизни заключается в чём-то ещё, кроме как во внешности?

At an isolated log cabin in the harsh wilderness of Indiana circa 1817, the rhythms of love, tragedy, and the daily hardships of life on the developing frontier shaped one of our nation’s greatest heroes: Abraham Lincoln. Abe is a thoughtful and quiet boy who spends his days at the side of his beloved mother while learning to work the land from his stern father. When illness takes his mother, Abe's new guardian angel comes in the form of his new stepmother, who sees the potential in the boy and pushes for his further education.
Вечером 14 апреля 1865 года, спустя всего несколько дней после капитуляции генерала Ли у Аппоматтокса, фанатичный сторонник Конфедерации Джон Уилкс Бут привел в исполнение план заговорщиков. Они собирались не только убить президента Авраама Линкольна, но и свергнуть правительство Соединенных Штатов в надежде на то, что Конфедерация возродится из пепла.
Эта картина рассказывает о десяти годах жизни молодого Авраама Линкольна, прежде чем он стал известен американцам, а впоследствии и всему миру. Его жизнь не баловала, всего он добивался сам. Переехав из штата Кентукки в город Спрингфилд штата Иллинойс, будущий президент США, начинает свою юридическую практику.
Здесь ему предстоит выступить адвокатом невинно обвиненных молодых людей и выиграть дело в суде, перенести смерть подруги Энн, встретить свою будущую жену Мери Тодд и решиться пойти в политику, чтобы в будущем стать шестнадцатым, а по значимости и величине Первым президентом США.

In the small town of Ottawa, Illinois, where a rumor can spread like the plague and nobody's business is their own, six friends decide to change their weekly routine of watching movies in the basement and talking shit, to go out for a night on the town.

With rumors of the police commissioner's alleged disappearance circulating, and the mayor enacting a strict curfew, it doesn't take long for things to spiral out of control and the whole town to go mad. Is it just hysteria? Is it a curse? Is it Abraham Lincoln's fault? Nobody knows. But for the gang, only one thing is certain. They should have NEVER left the basement.
