Ivy Allen (Toby Poser) is a medium who has lost her sight but still practices the Tarot business. Her goth fourteen-year-old daughter Echo (Zelda Adams ) likes to sled in upstate New York. Kurt Miller (John Adams ) their neighbor is restoring a house. He eats out all the time, drinks, drives a truck, and doesn't slow down when he sees deer crossing the road. He runs into Echo and has issues burying the body in frozen ground. He is haunted like a Poe story. Mom feels that her daughter is dead and highly suspects Kurt. It is time to get her mojo back.

This was an interesting and well-done film for a low budget indie. The acting was good. The plot was fresher than most.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

You get sick of the same old pap from Hollywood with no new ideas or style. Then along comes this little film from a 3 person family who blow Hollywood out of the water. Now I'm going to be realistic and say while the dialogue was fantastic, the editing needs a wee bit work as a few places I felt the pace started to drag. It didn't ruin the film but was noticeable. The acting was as good as you'd want without being oscar worthy, and the score was nothing short of excellent. The filming, you'd think it had been done by a Hollywood heavyweight. Aside from all this...the story was immersive and engaging. I really enjoyed this I hope they make another one.

Sometimes a shoestring budget acts not as a restraint, but a liberating expression of "old-fashioned" concepts like well done cinematography, sparse sets and spare dialog.

If you are looking for a big budget lurch fest, keep steppin'.

This is an intimate imagining of the theme of bonds that exceed time, distance and mortality.
