In an army hospital, a black winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor and a psychiatrist, both guilty survivors of Viet Nam, verbally spar until the doctor draws out the horror and disgust that has traumatized D.J.

Before another interview takes place, D.J. goes AWOL to get money for unpaid bills and the unthinkable happens.
