A successful businessman returns to the small town of youth to foreclose on a mortgage held by his old childhood nemesis, upon whom he vowed revenge years ago. While checking out the property he finds a young boy sitting on a rock near the pond reading a book, and he is surprised at some of the features in the boy's face which remind him of people he knew.
