The Return: Directed by Steven F. Zambo. With Heather Ricks, Simon Jon Provan, David Ruprecht, Ken T. Williams. Leah of Nod goes through life as a thief. But, very little of what she steals remains with her. She is under the power and control of the evil Dybbuk. That is until, one day, a huntsman named Yadid arrives in the village. Each week new gifts begin to appear in Leah’s cottage. She begins to change. Soon, however, she is betrayed by those closest to her and sentenced to die for her crimes. Leah discovers that great and true love can even over come death.

Lewis like tale of the Jesus story as seen through the eyes of a woman named Leah played by Heather Ricks who changes over the time of the film from a girl who acts as a come on for thieves to one who dedicates her life to others.
