Overview
Two brothers, Tom, a former police detective, and Don, a former carpenter turned writer, are on a road trip to help Don fire up his imagination for a new book he is writing. They stop in Dexter, VT, a town 20 miles from the Canadian border, where they learn of a well heeled man in town who is a bit of a dichotomy. Emerson Prescott, is in a car accident that leaves him with partial amnesia. His memory improves after the accident, until a few years later when he has another accident causing his amnesia to flair up again and this time it is even worse. He physically recovers from both accidents, but his memory is severely arrested after the second accident and he has trouble remembering even the most important events of his life, and almost nothing of his life before the second accident.Then one day, a few months after his second accident, his memory begins to return, but to his closest friends his recollections of his youth and life do not match with what they know about him.While doing background on the town of Dexter, thinking he may use the town as a backdrop for his new book, Don learns of Emerson and his prominence in the town. Being such a figure, Don wants to know more about him, and upon discovering who Emerson is, he begins to think that just maybe Emerson is not really who everyone thinks he is.Don and Tom proceed to investigate the life and times of Emerson Prescott learning more about him than even the towns folk had ever known. Don realizes that this man's life might be the catalyst for a new story for his book and he won't let the story go no matter where it leads.
