The story of Elijah Harper.....

一个小男孩邀请了一位神秘男子到自己家中，他相信这个陌生人是拯救他生病母亲的关键。随着家中开始发生越来越多令人不安的事情，小男孩很快意识到这个险恶的陌生人并非他所宣称的救世主。

A young boy invites a mysterious man into his home, believing the stranger to be the key to saving his sick mother. As increasingly disturbing things start to happen around his home, the boy soon realizes that the sinister stranger is not the savior he claims to be.

An impossible adventure begins when a young boy sneaks out of George Washington's encampment on a frantic search for his father, a 6th Pennsylvania soldier who does not return from the 1778 Battle of Monmouth. Will the game of draughts (checkers) save the young boy's life and get him home?

After a 3-year stint in prison, an unreasonably optimistic middle-aged man returns to his stagnant neighborhood to win back his girlfriend only to find that she and his family have done what they always wanted to do - forget he exists.
