Shutterflies is a movie that takes place in the 1960's. Declan, a young teenage photographer with profound views on life, captures imagery of nature and wildlife to further connect with his deaf sister. He feels that everyone needs to be able to 'stop' the world, and remember the moments through stills. Declan's conflict with his alcoholic mother revolves around the recent loss of his father. Declan's father had taught him everything about photography, and passed on the camera that he used himself. The camera in Declan's life becomes not only a tool to 'stop', but a symbol to remember his father by. Declan's kind neighbor has since become a father-like figure and family friend. His relationship with Declan's mother seems to grow closer each day. Although being a smoker, a drinker and a wreck, his mother finds comfort in their neighbor. After having a harsh argument with his mother, Declan witnesses something he wasn't supposed to see while doing his daily routine. He accidentally comes across a masked murderer and has a nail-biting encounter with him. With Declan traumatized from the sights, a local police lieutenant enters the scene. The film becomes a murder-mystery to not only find the local killer, but to protect Declan and his family.
