Three things happened in the first week of August. None of them were connected until, Winnie Foster, a 10-year-old, loses patience after being stuck in her rich but very strict household and finally decides to run away. Then on the other side, a mother named Mae goes out to reunite with her sons as she does every 10 years. Then in the evening, a man in a yellow suit was in front of Foster’s gate. These three things seem very different, right? Well, within no time they get connected by something that makes living creatures immortal. Winnie Foster being the girl who was stuck in her strict household was willing to go out and make friends. She then decides to run away. Mae Tuck is someone who was out to meet her sons and the man in the yellow suit who seemed to be nice. All the three things mentioned above get connected after Winnie Foster runs away from her house.
