Storyline
In March 1983, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a disfigured man is taken to the hospital. While the detective answers a call outside the room, the disfigured man jumps out of the window, leaving behind a note that reads: ‘I’m sory Abby’. Two weeks earlier, Owen, an unhappy and lonely 12-year-old boy who is neglected by his divorcing parents, sees a barefoot young girl, Abby, and an older man moving in next door.

“It's a difficult thing when you make a film of a book. You have two hours to tell the story, and it's never going to be enough.”
