A Senator who vanished …
An old man with regrets …
Editor Kurt Borden’s star reporter, Mick Tyler, is struggling with depression. Long before Kurt bought his lakeside house in Maine, a senator owned the cottage next door. When Mick shows interest in the story, Kurt sends him out to do a feature on the senator, who disappeared more than 40 years ago. Maybe Mick’s fascination with the tale will lift his depression. But Mick never comes back. Kurt’s wife, Janet, finds an elderly neighbour ill in his home. The old man, Elwood Fairmont, begs Janet to give a cryptic message to his grown children. Elwood’s children gather, but their father’s words mystify them. Was what he told Janet a dying confession? Kurt assigns bright young reporter Dave Carpenter to write about Mick’s disappearance. When Dave investigates the story his colleague was pursuing, Kurt’s life is threatened. Janet finds a clue that makes them wonder: Are Elwood’s regrets and Mick’s disappearance connected to things that happened decades ago?
