Storyline

A college student returns to Hawaii after a 20-year absence (his parents died when he was a little boy and he was adopted), haunted by a series of disturbing flashbacks which seem to make no sense. Things start to come together when a convict gets out of prison after serving 20 years for bank robbery, and some of the student's visions seem to match the robbery scene. The student and the convict confront each other, and before long the convict is dead, his head bashed in. Did the unstable student freak out and murder the convict, did he kill the enraged convict in self-defense, or did someone else commit the murder? And what ever happened to the convict's partner, who was wounded in a shootout while fleeing the crime? Most important of all, where is the money?

Trivia

This was the last show that Sharon Farrell (Lori) filmed during her half-season run in the series. (According to one report, she was fired because she wanted to bring her husband to the set and 'Jack Lord' (I) forbade it.) She appears in a couple of shows that were put on the shelf by CBS-TV and burned off late in the season.
