“Check me out, I’m sooo normal”
All 11 year- old Cody Seltzer wants is to be normal. He loves sketching, but his tattooed, skate boarding, movie-quoting parents have other ideas. In fact his entire city neighborhood likes to fly the freak flag extra high. It’s always quirky, but one day Cody discovers creeping, crawling shadows making bad things happen all over his neighborhood vandalizing mural art, uprooting gardens, and disrupting the community Halloween celebration.
Cody feels he is the only one who can see these shadows as everyone else is distracted by the fun, distracting video game challenges coming from their cell phones. In a show of resilience, he turns to a weird blend of old and new friends to figure out how to stop the creeping craziness and “get the flow back”. His worries of weirdness begin to heal as he works to save his lively, unique world.
