Gravesend

Robbie Mauro could see things, or could he?As a child growing up in Brooklyn, in a deeply religious Italian family, Robbie was no stranger to a belief in spirits. On occasion he saw them, or was it just his creative imagination playing tricks on an impressionable young man? Sometime he would hear voices, or was it wishful thinking? But mostly he would have premonitions. These premonitions soon became a big part of his life Robbie’s teenage years are filled with family and friends, school and activities, but Robbie’s life is anything but ＂ordinary＂. He and his friends find an ancient Ouija board and unwittingly create a scenario that places themselves and those they love in grave danger. Robbie finds out the hard way that ＂actions have consequences.＂
