A dark, intimate portrait of two brothers fractured by opposing worldviews, where one's Vietnam-scarred cynicism and violence destroys the other's attempts at connection and redemption.

Two brothers cannot overcome their opposite perceptions of life. One brother sees and feels bad in everyone and everything, subsequently he is violent, antisocial and unable to appreciate or enjoy the good things which his brother desperately tries to point out to him.
