Development Pitch
This story takes place in 1940's Ohio. Its rural setting allows for unusual legends to have a greater life. The four characters set out on a quest, but discover an item (box) with terrifying power. Mickey must find a way of using the box to save his friends from their own personal dangers. Is he able to do it? Can he face the consequences of using the box's power? I believe this would work well as a movie.
