Cameron and his mom have been on the run. Moving houses, cities, new schools, unlisted phone numbers. Just as things settle, Cameron's mom has a feeling that his dad has found them and they are on the move again. It's been so long since Cameron has seen his dad he can't remember if his memories are real or just stories his mom has told him.
Cameron moves into an old farm house and starts hearing stories about the place. Soon he's talking to ghosts and digging up old murder stories. Is Cameron losing his mind or is he on to something? Most importantly, is Cameron just like his dad?
