Spoilers ahead

Owen [Luke Benward] leads a quiet, bookish life when he and his distracted older sister Lilly [Brittany Curran] are left to fend for themselves while their Dad [John Farley] and Mom [Kenda Benward] are away. On days after school, Owen delivers the paper and copes with a relentless school bully named Dexter [Cameron Monaghan] and his rough crew, who bother him by tossing his bike, newspapers, and even pants off a bridge. To escape, he retreats to a forest hideaway where he builds small inventions and spins tall tales about a fearsome figure he calls the Mad Man of the Mountain—a supposedly dangerous man who once worked in a circus freak show and now lives among the pines to be free.
