Stand by Me

Shocked by the death of a dear friend, thirty-something writer Gordie Lachance takes a trip down memory lane. And as he reminisces about the hot summer of 1959 in Castle Rock, Oregon, a life-changing adventure comes to life. Back then, Gordie and his three close friends wanted to be the town's heroes by finding the body of a missing 12-year-old boy. Instead, the kids had to compete with local tough Ace Merrill and his bullies. Growing up is a challenge. But finding real friends can be even more challenging. Wouldn't life be simpler if you stood by me?
