Tragedy befalls all of us and there truly is no way to escape it. However, writer Ben Grady has the misfortune of losing his wife and falls into a deep, dark depression that seems to progressively get worse and worse. 

Before Ben’s wife sadly passed away, the two were a duo writing children’s stories and self-publishing them. After the tragic event, Ben becomes more withdrawn from society and goes into the dark web to buy a book for a couple of grand on how to get his life together written by a “Shaman” of sorts named Mealworm, who attempts to show Ben his truer self how he was able to fly.

I’ll get to the point. This movie is somewhat strange, quirky and familiar in many aspects. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s all bad. It’s actually pretty entertaining in its own right and has a good amount going for it.

The cast is very much remarkable for this small little picture that they were hired for and give pretty good performances for the duration of the film.

While the themes might seem to be all-too familiar with a master teaching his doubtful apprentice something that will shape their life for their own betterment. It’s “been there done that” territory, but it still has a decent heart behind it.

All in all, the film is derivative in its execution but makes for some entertaining viewing with a good chunk of heart.
