SYNOPSIS

Charlie Parker (Kade Coates) is your ordinary 12-year-old baseball fanatic and curious kid. With his father away fighting World War II, his mother is forced to rent rooms out to make ends meet. But the latest boarder rouses Charlie's suspicions and he tries to warn his mother to no avail. Snooping around the boarder's room, he finds a satchel full of jars filled with souls. Fearing the soul collector is targeting his mother, Charlie must do everything he can to protect her, even if it means risking his own soul in the process.
