Bluestar
Tom, 15 ans, vit chez sa mère. Mais il passe certains week-ends chez son père à la campagne ; tête à tête pesant dans l’ombre d’un frère mort. C’est là qu’il retrouve Kevin, son ami d’enfance. Cette fois, Tom a dégoté un flacon de Bluestar, un révélateur de traces de sang. Leur projet : visiter de nuit « la maison abandonnée », là où, un jour, un homme a tué ses enfants. Pour Tom, cette équipée macabre va prendre un tour inattendu : le Bluestar a quelque chose à lui révéler…
