After a life's career as a photojournalist recording the horrors of wars and Police Actions throughout the world, Will McCord returns to the mountains of Central Oregon to revive the memories of living there in a cabin during the early 1960's as a young teenager, and to put to rest the demons of self doubt. He returns to refresh his memories of Kampotar Bakar, the little known legendary alien beast he had befriended and for whom Will had to kill a man to protect.

Will relives the days of life and legend, and the lawlessness and greed he witnessed while enjoying a boy's life in the mountains during summer days and winter nights, slowly realizing life's circumstances were prematurely transforming him into a man.

Will mentally walks once again through his days as a youth until it is manifested to him that although all things change with time, some things change slower than others, and the glorious days as a boy can be relived.
