Talking To The Moon

At the sight of his abusive father lying wounded in the driveway; 16 year-old Sean finds himself at his mother's side being urged to flee. He doesn't recall what happened, but he reluctantly obeys. Later at a friend's house, Sean is presented with a place to hide out where no one could ever come searching for him - a safe-house within his own neighborhood, yet fifty years in the past.

1958 welcomes Sean with its trusting neighbors, rock and roll records, sturdy, fast cars without insurance or airbags, and even a spot on the high school football team. Best of all, 1958 welcomes him with a beautiful girl named Clara. Sean is captured by all that his heart could ever desire in this life. As far as he's concerned, nothing could ever make him return to the life he abandoned... unfortunately, a decision like that may not be his alone to make.
