				- great "See, it's 
				different, 'cause you've always had friends, and people want to 
				talk to you and be around you. I never had any of that. I mean, 
				before this, I barely even hung out with Matt, and he's my 
				cousin. We were close when were little, but- I don't know. In 
				high school, everything changed." - Andrew Detmer to

				Plot Summary: In 
						this film, three high school students stumble across a 
						large hole in the forest. After exploring its inner 
						cave, they discover a massive crystal object. A few days 
						later, they realize each has new telekinetic abilities. 
						They start to practice their new powers on school pranks 
						and simple object levitation. Each time they do, their 
						noses bleed. Before long, they are able to fly. The most 
						vulnerable of the three, Andrew, who has been filming 
						the entire journey, is having a hard time controlling 
						his powers, especially since he has been a victim of 
						constant bullying and his home life is a wreck.  Dad's Preview: 
				Most people as kids wished they could fly, or be invisible, or 
				become invincible. Many of our greatest fictional heroes are 
				supers: Thor, Wonder Woman and certainly Superman. This story ponders the subject of unnatural 
				abilities and how different people, based on their life 
				experiences, will channel that power. We would prefer to think 
				we'd use it only to do good deeds, but man, I'd sure like to get 
				even with that jerk who gave me wedgies everyday in 7th grade. 
				Now, without fear, I can. This movie is exciting, 
				thought-provoking and a whole lot of super-entertaining, but 
				it's not all fun and games - by its dark end, things get very, 
				horribly 
				serious.
