Zevi is a thirteen-year-old boy with a special gift. He has psychic powers and can tell when someone is in danger. He has recently saved a young child by ‘seeing’ where she is and helping the police locate her. Zevi’s dream is to be a famous actor, not someone who is famous for having psychic powers.
A movie company asks to use Zevi’s family house for a filming location for a new movie starring Robert Lemon. Zevi is over the moon with happiness when he and his best friend, Nir, are given the role as extras. Zevi hopes he will have the chance to meet Robert Lemon and be asked to star in a movie with him. Unfortunately, bad things start to happen on the set. Will Zevi be able to decipher the cryptic dreams and visions he is having, and save Robert Lemon before it’s too late?
