Starring Anthony Hopkins, this moody drama is about the brief friendship between a young boy and a mysterious aging man. In the summer of 1960, Bobby Garfield (Anton Yelchin) has turned 11. His father has been dead for five years, and Bobby lives with his busy mother, who has not remarried. Then a man named Ted Brautigan (Hopkins) rents the upstairs rooms in the house where Bobby and his mother live. Brautigan’s eyesight is failing, and he hires Bobby to read to him. Also, Brautigan advises Bobby on how to handle his physical attraction to a young girl (Mika Boorem) and which library books are worth reading. But soon Bobby realizes that Brautigan has the gift of reading minds, a gift which Bobby shares to some extent. Eventually, Brautigan asks Bobby to look out for some people he calls "low men" who are pursuing him because of his gift.
