A noir-inflected drama about a traumatized fugitive and the nurse who shelters him, built on tension between violence and redemptive love.

Bill Saunders, a former prisoner of war living in England, whose experiences have left him unstable and violent, gets into a bar fight in which he kills a man and then flees. He hides out with the assistance of a nurse, Jane Wharton, who believes his story that the killing was an accident.
