Summary

The narrator reestablishes contact with an old college roommate, Chris, who shares a disturbing conviction: his brother, Michael, has been replaced by an imposter after a solo hike. This prompts the narrator to research similar phenomena, discovering both folklore about changelings and the neurological disorder, Capgras delusion. A subsequent chance encounter with Michael and an investigative hike to the same mountain lead to a deeply unsettling confrontation, hinting at truths beyond human understanding and resulting in Michael's disappearance.
