It's the hope that sustains the spirit of every GI: the dream of the day when he will finally return home. For three WWII experts, the day has gotten here. However, for each man, the dream will come to be a problem. Captain Fred Derry is going back to a loveless marriage; Sergeant Al Stephenson is an unfamiliar person to a household that's grown up without him; and young sailor Homer Parrish is tortured by the loss of his hands. Can these 3 males discover the guts to rebuild their globe? Or are the most effective years of their lives a thing of the past?
