Hearts in Atlantis

Ordinary People meets Stand by Me if the quiet stranger was the real firestarter. A single mom, her impressionable son, and a boarder with clippings in his suitcase settle into a summer of small-town unease. The tension hums in what’s withheld, a 1960s prelude where innocence doesn’t stand a chance.
