Storyline

Roger Stovall is an uncompromising and unfeeling man. On the most part, this attitude places him in good stead as an IRS auditor, however he is disliked by his colleagues and cannot see the human side of those he audits. One such of these audited is Robby Turner, a man who ran a dog rescue shelter out of his home. Roger denied Robby many of his deductions, not seeing the shelter as a legitimate business. As a result, Robby lost his home and his animals. Roger's attitude extends to his personal life, to his wife Elaine and his twelve year old son Steven. Roger's one regret in life is Steven's death, he who wandered off during a camping trip a month earlier but whose body was never found. Roger would trade his life for that of Steven's. Roger died in an accident when he thought he saw Steven across a busy street. Othniel sends Roger back eight years earlier to the time that he conducted Robby Turner's audit. Roger is not sure why he's there since he only wants to save Steven's life. ...
