Out of Time
In 1976, a local boy went missing while at a carnival with his friends. A body was never found, and he was presumed dead. Now, six years later, on the eve of his supposed death, he’s returned… the same age as when he had left. He has no memory of being gone, but there’s no mistaking the effects his absence had on him. After all, he never used to be able to lift things with his mind. As the boy and his friends work to solve the mystery of his disappearance, it becomes increasingly obvious that an unforeseen evil is threatening their sleepy little town, and to an extent, the whole world. Can they expose the danger before it’s too late?
