Quotes

Jarad
[on the phone]
I wanna tell you a story. Ever since I was young, there was something different about my family. A secret.
Jarad
Mom reckoned she'd been followed her whole life. Well, this one time, we're at the beach, and Mom sees this guy pointing a camera at us. She starts going off at him, but he's just frozen watching us. He says, "I'm sorry, this is just the way it has to be." And then he runs.
Jarad
Until slam! He jumps straight in front of a car. Like it was deliberate. Dead on impact.
Jarad
After the ambulance takes him away, I pick up the camera he dropped. It's a mode I've ever seen, and there are thousands of photos on it. And every single photo is of Mom and our family.
