It’s a story about four boyhood friends who go on a journey to find a missing body. The movie starts with a voice-over of a writer, reading the first several sentences of the story he is writing. It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You must be logged in.

The lightening was getting too close.
