When documentary filmmaker, Ben Lawrence investigates a newspaper article about a local security guard and part-time ghost hunter, Jason King - he begins a seven-year journey into a world of haunted homes and broken souls and discovers a story about a man confronting his innermost demons. Soon after they meet, Jason presents Ben with a stack of hospital records from his childhood. The documents chart a series of incidents from Jason’s youth that he cannot recall. Sensing there is more to the story, Ben offers to help Jason in his decades long search for the only person who may hold the key to Jason’s lost childhood – his father. Using the records, they dig into details of Jason’s childhood, but the search just raises more questions. Until one day, Jason is contacted by a childhood friend who is also seeking the whereabouts of Jason’s father. Sensing a breakthrough, they meet with this new-found collaborator and discover that others are also searching for his father, including the police. As the police investigation intensifies, it leads to an horrific family secret being exposed — forcing Jason to confront some brutal truths about his past. (Madman Entertainment)

Le protagoniste principal est certes un chasseur d'activités paranormales et il possède une entreprise à cet effet, mais ce n'est pas le sujet de ce document qui lui consacre moins de dix minutes seulement. En effet, le principal thème est la recherche de son père, dont il n'a que peu de souvenirs. Les efforts pour retrouver le lieu de résidence de son père finissent par prendre une tournure inattendue, après quoi le film s'intensifie en une dissertation thérapeutique sur la quête de son identité propre, sur les traumatismes de l'enfance, les relations familiales perturbées et les conséquences que de telles choses peuvent avoir sur une personne. Un documentaire standard et moyennement captivant sur un homme, sa famille et son histoire mouvementée.
