Synopsis
A young music producer named Jake arrives at a small town in search of a new song, which he hopes to buy. He is directed to a dilipidated shop in the woods run by a reclusive older man. After his offers of money in exchange for an original song are rebuffed, Jake wanders off through the woods and unkowingly passes a tombstone with his name on it. Beside a lake, he encounters a pretty but mysterious woman, Naomi, who reluctantly plays a song for him about two lovers who meet in the woods and are torn apart by tragedy. Jake offers to buy the song rights from her, but she claims it isn't for sale. As he tries to seduce her, a jealous young man named Rayford shows up and attacks Jake, who defends himself and inadverdently kills Rayford. Soon, Rayford's brothers arrive to chase after Jake. As he prepares to flee, Naomi begs him to stay, hoping things will be different this time. She implies that these exact same events have ocurred before. Ignoring her, he runs away and finds himself back at the shop in the woods where he is killed by the brothers. The camera returns to the image of the tombstone seen at the beginning of the story with a warning from Rod Serling that, "In the Twilight Zone, some things are not for sale."Trivia
