This fascinating film functions Thomas Sadoski and Jake Robinson in the lead roles of The Narrator and The Kid, respectively. The movie's special method to storytelling, which highlights the charm of ordinary and common life yet shrouded in a subtle fear of inexplicable habits, includes a twist to the common thriller category.

Plot
The story focuses on a paradoxical friendship between the lead character, known only as The Narrator (Thomas Sadoski), and a sociopath called The Kid (Jake Robinson). Declaring to understand sociopaths due to his previous experience with one, The Narrator ends up being intrigued when he determines The Kid as a sociopath, based upon his notably simulating habits and absence of a personal identity.

The Narrator, a widower, journalist, and self-proclaimed social observer, is mesmerized by The Kid's unusual habits. Although he is totally aware that The Kid might pose a potential threat to himself and his town, he can not resist following him around and recording his actions. The Kid, on the other hand, is a quirky yet safe character who practically immediately mirrors whatever he hears, making others unpleasant with his eerie skill of imitating others' identities.

Secret Themes
The movie masterfully checks out themes of identity, psychopathy, and the worry of the unknown.
