But a precious meteorite gets a lot of attention . . .
While Joel protects the meteorite from both amateur and professional criminals, he tries to unravel an even greater mystery surrounding his own life.

It Ends with Us, Sky Cinema Premiere & NOW
Here’s the first Colleen Hoover novel adapted for the big screen. And it's fair to say that - despite its box office success - it's been mired by controversy between its star, Blake Lively, and director/co-star Justin Baldoni.
The story was inspired by Hoover's personal experience as a child growing up in a household with domestic violence, which carried through into her adult life.
It tells the story of Lily Bloom, a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business.
A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents’ relationship.
When Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan, suddenly re-enters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future.
Revelations, Netflix
This South Korean thriller follows a pastor who believes punishing the culprit behind a missing-person case is his divine mission, and a detective haunted by visions of her dead sister, each pursuing their own truths.
