In a small town in the United States, two very different brothers face the ups and downs of life and their own decisions. Joe, a Vietnam War veteran, returns home, where he tries to adapt to a life that feels foreign. On the other hand, his younger brother Frank is a family man who has found stability in his life, yet he also grapples with his own demons. The contrast between them is palpable: while Joe continues to struggle with the aftermath of war and a chaotic life, Frank strives to be the pillar of his family, even as he feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
As the days go by, their disagreements escalate into tension, and old grievances resurface. Joe, with his rebellious spirit and tendency to get into trouble, becomes a source of distress for Frank, who is trying to keep his life intact. The story delves into themes of love, guilt, and the quest for redemption, all set against a backdrop of raw emotions.
When a series of impulsive decisions jeopardizes Joe's life, Frank is forced to reevaluate his own existence and what it truly means to be a brother. The film explores the complexity of family bonds and the internal struggle faced by those who, despite being so different, are inexorably united by their past and their choices.
