Eddy Chapman, a member of an elite unit of the United States Army, sits in the rain in modern day America recalling the hells and heavens of his Viet Nam experience where he and his two fellow soldiers where sent on a mission that went sour leading to his subsequent capture and torture at the hands of a sadistic North Vietnamese Colonel. As they were being transported North to the Hanoi Hilton they affect their escape and spend the next lifetime, it seemed, making their way to a friendly unit and freedom. Coming home to an ungrateful country he tries to find his place back into society. Never realizing the peace he sought from a government that doesn’t want him and a people that would rather ignore the plight of the veteran, he is thrust into the life of the homeless.Receiving help from a missionary for the homeless and an attorney who helps him in his battle, he regains his self-respect and once again continues the fight. But...it was not to be. The country, once again, turns its back on the veteran and his life is destroyed by the IRS losing everything he had.With the encouragement of a close friend that has been with him all along, he keeps up the good fight until he goes on a job interview that becomes the focal point of his destiny.
