His obsession is based on an end of the summer afternoon that he had spent with his neighbor and best friend, Kelly Mosley, and a special moment they shared while visiting a "Secret Waterfall" deep in the woods behind Donny''s house, when they were both only 12 years old.Donny ultimately learns that holding on to past moments and prying at a closed door, might just mean that that door, sadly... just wasn''t meant to be his door to open.
