Summary:

It's the summer of 1989. Nine-year-old Ted Henley and his father John are the proprietors of The Mtn. Vista Motel, a crumbling resort buried in the mountains of the American West. Since Ted's mother left, John has drifted into despondency, becoming a living ghost, haunting the motel, leaving Ted to fend for himself. In this isolation, unchecked by the bounds of parenting, Ted's darker impulses begin to manifest.
