Sinopsis

A 12-year-old boyâÇÖs father unexpectedly collapses and dies at a party given at their home in celebration of his advancement at his firm. The boyâÇÖs lucid dreaming provokes a sense of guilt that he is somehow responsible for his fatherâÇÖs untimely passing, particularly because of an earlier altercation between them. It is summer and his Uncle Joe, a psychiatrist (his motherâÇÖs brother), suggests they use his summer cabin up in the Poconos as a respite to escape and relax during this difficult time. To make bad matters worse, this initial trauma is followed by a heinous, unspeakable crime, leading us to suspect additional characters in this small town setting. Along the way, however, even deeper secrets unveil themselves, in a chain of shared lifelong secrets and denials, and their ultimate consequences.áThe bookâÇÖs Author, Joseph Jacoby, is a Writer/Director/Producer of 5 motion pictures, and began his career as a creator of game shows and a puppeteer. áHis first book, 'BOY ON A STRING' (A Memoir), with an Introduction By Martin Scorsese, coincided with The Museum of Modern Art mounting áa weeklong retrospective of his feature work to date. He was the recipient of the 'Best New Director' Award at The Virgin Islands Film Festival for 'The Great Bank Hoax' (Warner Bros.) and honored for the picture at The Festival De Deauville Du Cinema Americain.

His documentary, 'A Case of MisTaken Identity?' áwas seen nationally on the PBS stations in 2008-09.
