Spud (everything is meant to be)

Spud is a prescient three-year old wise beyond his years. His mother Angela was left alone following the sudden death of Spuds biological father Scott. Though Angela had the love and support of both her parents and Scotts she elected to strike out on her own and leave the family farm - and her longtime friends - behind. Settled into a flat in Walcote about two hours drive from her parents home Angela crosses paths with several individuals including Geoff a would-be suitor and his demolition team. Geoff introduces her to Reg and Phyllis aging neighbors who lost their daughter Debbie six decades earlier in a freak accident - yet Spud is able to see and hear Debbie as if she was in the room with them. The twists and turns of village life quickly turn macabré as Angelas neighbor and closest friend is murdered. Spud has awareness of a life before with his other mummy Alma when they were sent to Outfits. (Auschwitz). Spud shares this with his grandfather who believes Spuds insights. However Angela is taken quite aback by what she at first thinks to be Spuds overly vivid imagination. It isnt until she meets up with her old friend Luke back in her hometown Dereham at Christmastime that she is convinced her son is not simply imagining things. An unusual encounter with Luke an accomplished violinist brings the truth of Spuds story out in the open.
