One day, while playing on the beach, they meet Morell, a strange and slightly scary looking adult man. Morell immediately shows great interest in them, especially in Romeo. At first, Morell seems like a kind and caring figure, even helping Gavin fight the bullies at school. However, as time goes by, Morell begins to show his dark side.
Morell becomes increasingly obsessive and possessive of Romeo, which makes Gavin feel left out. Their friendship begins to fray, and Gavin feels increasingly isolated. Meanwhile, Morell tries to get closer to Romeo's family, especially his mother, which complicates the situation. Romeo, who was initially pleased with Morell's attention, begins to feel uncomfortable with his strange behavior.
