realise was that he drowned in a river in Arcadia, US 32 years ago at the age
of 8. He manages to return to US with the help of immigration, and is in the
custody of Agent J. Martin Bellamy, immigration and customs. The kind hearted
agent, rather than giving Jacob to foster care and adoptions, undertakes a
mission to find the boy’s origin and return him to his family. Jacob is taken
back to Arcadia, his appearance sending huge shockwaves thought the community,
especially to his parents who are emotionally troubled.
Jacob has strong knowledge of everything that happened
to him as well as his aunt who died with him in the river one afternoon, 32
years ago. He clearly remembers his friend; Tom, the games he played with his
dad; Henry and his uncle; Fred. Jacob remembers everything as if it happened
yesterday, while the family has a slight memory of the events happened 32 years
ago, in real time. Unable to believe everything that is been happening, Agent
Marty decides to get a DNA test carried out. However, the result comes out
positive, stating that the new Jacob Langston is biologically related to Henry
and Lucille Langston. For now, despite all the theories and rumours clouding
the community, Jacob’s mother Lucille is just happy to get another chance to
spend her time and take care of her little boy.
