Someday. Somewhere. When the time is right.
"Secrets in the Attic" tells a Romeo and Juliet-like story about a couple of youngsters who meet like two little ships passing in the night. Both young Luke and Callie had sordid upbringings. Luke was physically abused by his step-father, left home, and was subsequently taken advantage of by an unscrupulous man named Ed Brinson. Luke killed Ed in self-defense after Ed refused to pay Luke for manual labor.
Callie never met her father, who died in prison after being convicted of larceny. Rachel finally opens up to her daughter, who was led to believe that her father's name was Roger. Instead, she learns that he was Gordon Wright. But, in truth, he was Mr. Wrong.
Luke is a gifted artist and sketches a lovely profile of Callie. In turn, Callie assists Luke in sleeping in her grandmother's attic. Callie's mom, Rachel, has arrived with Callie to settle the estate of grandma Evelyn in lovely Chehalis, Washington.
Much of the film is devoted to revealing the secrets of the past, as well as the unsavory small town atmosphere in which a bloodthirsty cop, Sheriff Urban Blackwell, is pursuing young Luke much like Javert's quest to apprehend Jean Valjean.
Grandma Evelyn has left bequests for her relatives, and she has earmarked one small item for Michael Collins. It turns out that Luke is Michael Collins, and he was kind to Evelyn, assisting her with groceries. As handyman working at her Michael discovers the greenhouse where he sleeps and later camps out in Evelyn's attic, occasionally munching her plentiful supply of ravioli in the pantry. Perhaps her also occasionally chauffeured her in her 1973 Lincoln Continental à la "Driving Miss Daisy." It was Michael who phoned the paramedics when he heard a crash from his attic lair and discovered Evelyn unconscious.
One interesting character who drops out of the film early was young Jordan Benson, who clearly had a crush on Callie. But she prefers her young outlaw and artist, Luke. They form a kind of pact to one day go to Tuscany. When they do, perhaps they can make a detour to fair Verona, where they can relive the sad tale of woe of Juliet and her Romeo.
