Harry Richmond, a once prosperous Florida importer, is on his way to his remote cabin in the mountains of western Georgia with the grim purpose of an elaborate suicide. The reason for this is quickly established: the police will soon be on his trail, and he has only a few days of freedom left before his world comes shattering down around him. At the cabin, he reads from some of his favorite books, listens to music he has treasured in the past, and prepares his funeral pyre. While reminiscing on his earlier events certain figures are referred to--those who most prominently ran through the last fifteen years of his life.
When the time arrives for the final act of the fire and the gun, Richmond stands with a lighted match ready to ignite the incendiary mixture that will burn him beyond recognition. But before he is able to either do this or put the gun to his head, an unremitting series of images bombard him into momentary helplessness, staying his hand and forcing his thoughts back into the past.
