Synopsis

Ricky Hayden Carter is a young boy who has a miserable life. Since the passing of his mother, Ricky’s father turned from a loving father to an abusive drunk who takes his anger out on his son. School is no different where Ricky is the target of the school bully. The only escape from his reality is an oak tree on the edge of his property away from everyone.

Across the road from the oak tree lies an abandoned shack, or what looks to be abandoned. Surrounded by a gate and a warning sign to not enter. When three men attempt to rob the shack, in hopes they might find something, Ricky watches behind the oak tree. The three men stumble across something but not what they expected. Ricky silently watches the three men get killed, one by one, from a mysterious shadow. Scared yet fascinated, Ricky wonders who was this shadow? Has this shadow been watching him the entire time?

Police question Ricky about the disappearance of the three men but he remains silent about what he saw.

The next day Ricky is rewarded with a gift at the oak tree. Inside the box is a book, The Serial Killer’s Handbook. Ricky reads the book and begins to come out of his shell.

Not long after, the mysterious shadow appears and introduces himself to Ricky.

Ricky now must decide whether to cross the line into the unknown into the stranger’s world, or to remain in the life he has.
