Behind him he leaves the highly mysterious disappearance of his wife four years before, as well as the relentless quest of Officer Ledezma, who suspects that Smith killed his wife and buried the body. Another mystery awaits Frank at Scott Academya mystery from twenty-five years ago, when a group of young boys walked from the campus into the woods and disappeared. What could have happened to them?

When he does so, he relives not only his own boyhood when his father was the upright head of the academys English department but also that of the classmates of the missing boys, some of whom have returned to Scott Academy for their twenty-fifth reunion.
