Sam Sloane is an over-the-hill foreign correspondent still plagued by painful memories of his reporting days in Vietnam. He has refused to adapt to the cheapening of TV news and is called home to be fired. Back in the mahogany foxholes of New York, he finds himself confronting not only todays corporate America, but the demons of his own past. A wounded cameraman helps him to deal with the nightmares and face the future. Its a story of the intense friendship of comrades who live together and come close to dying together. It is also a poignant tale of Americans and Vietnamese, frightened men and lonely women, and of one little girl who is the symbol of wartime Vietnam. There is tragedy and profanity and dark humor but this story tells of more than mans inhumanity to man. It speaks of mans humanity to man.
