Page "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" Paragraph 8

Before he was sentenced to life, Andy managed, with the help of his closest friend, to sell off his assets and invest the proceeds under a pseudonym.

This alias, Peter Stevens, has a driver's license, Social Security card and other credentials.

The documents required to claim Stevens ' assets and assume his identity are in a safe deposit box in a Portland bank ; the key to the box is hidden under a black volcanic rock along a rock wall lining a hay field in the small town of Buxton, not far from Shawshank.
