In all wars the battles sometime continue long after the last shots are fired, when the veteran's return home forces a family to glimpse the trials of war through the haunting memories and alien behavior of their loved one. It was 1967 when Scott Regan joined the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence branch, fully expecting to serve his tour of duty as a domestic counterintelligence agent stationed in the Boston area. However, a personality clash with his boss rapidly resulted in his assignment to the recently formed Phoenix Program and into a lair of C.I.A. operatives and covert action in Vietnam. As a ground combat advisor to South Vietnamese troops, his experiences quickly propelled him to a sleep deprived, delusionary, fatal act that would demand a cover-up of his deed and his clandestine evacuation to hospitals in Vietnam and Japan. Like thousands of other Vietnam veterans his return to civilian life was met with cold indifference, and Scott decided to "bolt the door on his memories" and remain mute on his time in 'Nam. The gnawing digestion of his wartime participation haunted him for ten more years until the day he received a startling phone call, leading to a shocking re-acquaintance. As a result of this meeting, Scott's discovery ended years of tormented speculation, but left in its wake a raft of thought provoking and bone chilling conclusions
