With their father dead and their mother working to support them, 16-year-old Laura is the main protector for her beloved four-year-old brother Jacko. After encountering an unsettling old junk-peddler (Timothy Spall), Jacko becomes ill. As Jacko gets sicker, the peddler seems to grow younger. Laura, who has always had premonitions, can foretell danger. She knows what is happening - something has taken over Jacko and is feeding on him, but nobody believes her. Except Sorenson, a handsome fellow student who also possesses strange gifts. In order to save Jacko, Laura must undergo The Changeover, a process that will either unleash her inner powers and take her to new levels of being or kill her and doom Jacko to a hideous fate. A gripping supernatural thriller, The Changeover relies as deeply on the strength of family as it does on spells and rituals. The war between good and evil has begun, and Laura will risk everything to protect the ones she loves. (Cleveland International Film Festival)
