What happens

Hearts in Atlantis is a 2001 American mystery drama film directed by Scott Hicks and starring Anthony Hopkins and Anton Yelchin. It is loosely adapted from Stephen King's Dark Tower tie-in "Low Men in Yellow Coats," a novella in the 1999 collection Hearts in Atlantis after which the film was named. The film is dedicated to the memory of its cinematographer, Piotr Sobociński, who died a few months before its release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
