Persuasion (Short) (NR)

synopsis

Every day since an accident left his wife paralyzed and mute, Mark Seever has lived in fear. His fear does not stem from financial issues, concern for his wife, or stress over his job. Mark Seever lives in fear of his ten-year-old son, Connor. Tasked with raising the boy himself, Mark grapples with parenthood and attempting to recreate their once normal life, all while living in the shadow of his son's mysterious changes. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mark tries to come to grips with a chilling reality; his son is developing a supernatural ability to control other people. As Connor begins to test his limits, Mark seeks to find the origins of this power before his son does more damage.
