Plot – Evicted from the original set, director Walt Price is now in trouble: his production is losing money day by day and it is absolutely necessary to start filming again from the beginning. A new location is needed - possibly with an old mill - and Price finds it in Waterford, a small Vermont town. Once arrived however, he finds things are different: the mill, essential to the script and pictured in every image of the location, has actually been destroyed by a fire many years before. The elimination of the mill from the movie will not be the only change that the promising screenwriter Joe must make to his work. Meanwhile, the extravagant stars Bob Barrenger and Claire Wellesey are arriving on set. Problems will now slowly increase.
