There is a mysterious death on The Hill. Time passes. The boys join the service, the war ends, and they both go on about their lives-one a marginally successful writer and the other a very successful publisher. But one is haunted by the shadows of that night on The Hill, and almost fifty years later, convinces the other that they must return on a voyage of self discovery to find resolution. Once there, evil stalks them again.
