For 10 years, AIR Studios Montserrat produced many of the biggest hits that defined the 1980s. On September 17, 1989, it all ended in a flash of wind, rain, and fury.

When the beautiful Taiwanese model Kaelyn Yen is drugged and held captive by the manager of one of America's most coveted modelling agencies, she realises the recent deaths of her sister, mother, and father were not accidents, but meticulously planned events initiated by her Triad-affiliated relatives. Soon after, the Mafia assumes control, and Kaelyn's boyfriend joins forces with the FBI to bring her extortionists to justice. However, not all schemes go according to plan. What begins as a routine kidnap and rescue soon escalates into an international pursuit through the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, and Hong Kong. It leads to the torture and murder of Kaelyn's two best friends, and causes the FBI's key witness to commit suicide just weeks before she is due to give evidence in court. Spanning the globe from America to Asia, and set amidst a backdrop of Hollywood glitz-and-glamor, mixed cultures, and criminal activity, Death on Pause is a riveting crime/thriller based on a real person's living nightmare and the events that have since dominated her once blessed and envious life.

In 1959, sixteen year old April is attacked and left for dead. Rescued two days later, she finds herself in the year 1999 and everyone she knew forty years ago is gone. Struggling to adjust, she discovers that she isn't living in her own future but a more dangerous place marked by the unexplained disappearances of people claiming to have moved through time. Escaping with new friends across the country, April survives an assassination attempt, a group of religious fundamentalist's intent on kidnap and the attentions of the police who are searching for her. However, equally frightening are her physical seizures accompanied by terrifying visions that are getting worse with time. Back in 1959, a girl is found lying in a ditch. Although in a coma, she is identified as April. She eventually recovers and begins to tell her strange story of being in 1999. Widely assumed to have dreamed such strange ideas, April's account finds little sympathetic reception until she meets a nineteen year old student called Richard - a man whom she had met as a Cambridge professor in 1999.
