A murder investigation in a small town zeros in on a young man who returns from the Vietnam War with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Now, his family and their entire town are ground zero for the cultural impact of war. Through his brother Curt, Sammy witnesses firsthand how PTSD affects emotional health, ultimately depriving him of his once-popular and charming sibling. But with corrupted law enforcement now looking to pin the murder of a wealthy town scion on the struggling Curt, Sammy's opportunities to help him grow narrower and narrower.

This gripping portrait of postwar life for veterans in America showcases the near-insurmountable difficulties of those who serve-only to then return to seemingly hopeless conditions on the home front.
