Feeling lost and disconnected with no family of his own, war veteran Sherman Oliver sets out to the countryside in search of the soldier who saved his life. That man, Franklin Page, has long since moved on and has a wife, two children and a reliable job in a reliably safe and quiet rural town. Upon arriving, Sherman seems at first a harmless if awkward shell of a man. But as he inserts himself further into the Page's life, he reveals himself to be an angry, unstable individual prone to great jealousy and deep resentment. The stability Franklin worked so hard to establish is soon threatened, and the violence he believed he'd left behind in the war begins to re-emerge and cloud over both the household and the town itself.
