## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Appalachia. Autumn wind. A boy's scream.
An autistic child, sole witness to his parents' deaths, falls under the care of an unorthodox therapist. The doctor must unlock the mysteries buried within the boy's mind, even as the boy's sister hints at her family's hidden darkness.
A tidy, if slightly lurid, mid-90s thriller.
