| Life
seems pretty normal for Nick Karpinsky. He lives in an apartment
with his mother and father. His father, Jacob, starts to stay home
from his job at the post office more and more. He has always had
trouble keeping jobs but Nick's mother made excuses and said that it was
for the best. There was always a new job. Jacob begins to act
stranger and stranger. Nick and his mother come to realize that there
is something seriously wrong here. Jacob is mentally ill and they
need to get help for him. When Jacob buys a rifle and seems convinced
that he is being pursued, things go from bad to worse. Find out what
happens in THE KEEPER. |
