"Truly, deeply scary" - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Robin Williams delivers his "finest hour" (USA Today) in "one of the eeriest, most absorbing, effective thrillers in years" (NBC-TV). Sy "the photo guy" Parrish (Williams) has lovingly, painstakingly developed photographs for the Yorkin family since their son was a baby. But as Yorkins' lives become fuller, Sy's only seems lonelier, until he eventually convinces himself that he is a part of their family. When "Uncle Sy's picture perfect fantasy" collides with an ugly dose of reality, what happens next "has the spine-tingling elements of the best psychological thrillers!" (New York Observer)...
