Dr. Horatio Averill Blake, a noted Florida anthropologist whose life was rerouted by the tragic deaths of his mother and father, confronts the consequences of his actions in affecting the destiny of an ancient South American indigenous tribe.
The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.
William Faulkner
