Surrounded by fans and sceptics, grizzled director J.J. "Jake" Hannaford returns from years abroad in Europe to a changed Hollywood, where he attempts to make his innovative comeback film. This film was started in 1970 but never completed during Welles's lifetime.
Seven friends reunite at an isolated summer cabin. Archie shows up with an axe to grind and begins acting a bit strange. Suddenly he goes missing, leaving the others to wonder whether he's coming back. The woods are a big place. Tough to find a lost pal, or see one coming.
