However, after the death of his wife leaves him to look after their young son Tommy on his own, one fateful night gazing at the stars threatens to derail everything Matt has, from his job, his son, his reputation, and even his sanity.
Rocket Man by Christopher Patrick is nothing like what I expected. I thought this would be a science fiction story, but it's really a suspenseful family drama about a man grieving the loss of his wife. Told through both Matt's POV and Tommy's POV, their memories reveal a mysterious letter left behind by Lisa, emphasizing the importance of the telescope she gifted to her husband.
Matt's discovery, via the telescope, triggers an act of desperation, resulting in the estrangement of father and son. Tommy, however, has found a way to remain by his father's side, and both are committed to making the journey, even though it requires leaving behind the life they once knew.
As always,
AstraDaemon
