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. The arrival of a mysterious drifter, William Colby, captivates young Ted and the two form a unique friendship - setting the stage for Ted's final, unnerving metamorphosis.
