Plot

Three teenage boys in small-town Southern Ontario are thrilled when Luke Cooper, a mysterious American fugitive with a gunshot wound in his leg, decides to crash their secret hideout. Luke tells them that he’s a cop on the run from corrupt colleagues, and swears them to silence.

As he recuperates, he becomes their buddy and confidant. By the time the boys realize Luke is not who he pretends to be, they are in way over their heads.
