==Biography ==
=== Film ===
Finney Blake is introduced as a reserved and timid 13-year-old boy with a rough life. He tends to not stick up for himself, leading to vicious bullying by classmates looking to take advantage. Unfortunately, things are not much better at home; his father is an abusive alcoholic presumably due to his wife's suicide and frequently takes out his anger by beating his two children. Finn walks on eggshells at home and school, never advocating for himself or possessing any sort of confidence to stand up to his adversaries. He looks up to people like his sister Gwen, who helps defend him from his bullies, and his friend and classmate Robin, who exudes fearlessness in schoolyard fights. 
While walking home from school one day, Finn is abducted. His kidnapper is the infamous Grabber, a local serial killer that has been stalking the area and the culprit behind his friend Robin's and acquaintance Bruce Yamada's disappearances. Locked in his soundproof basement, Finn uses a phone to communicate with the Grabber's deceased victims, who insist on making sure Finn escapes alive. They help him by giving him tips on what they did during their time in the basement, such as breaking a hole in the wall that leads to a freezer, using a wire as a weapon, digging a hole, and unlocking a padlock on the back door of the house. Simultaneously, Gwen searches for him through the use of her prophetic dreams.
After attempting to escape once and getting caught, the Grabber then prepares to kill Finn. Using the items he received from the other children and motivated by a powerful pep-talk from Robin, Finn easily overpowers the Grabber, tricking him into falling through the hole and bludgeoning him with the phone, finally strangling the killer with the phone cord. 
Finn then escapes into the neighborhood where he is met with Gwen and the police in tow. The officers find the killer's body, along with the bodies of the other five deceased children buried across the street. Finn reunites with his sister and father, despite the latter apologizing to both children for his abuse, they do not verbally accepts his apology as they tell the cops he was abusing them, he later was arrested and was disowned as a father by the kids. At school, Finn has gained confidence. He is finally left alone by his trio of bullies and is now willing to speak with his crush, who admires him for his bravery.
