Ray Ferrier is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. Soon after his ex-wife and her new husband drop off his teenage son and young daughter for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm touches down.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
