Highly-decorated Vietnam War veteran Jack Leeds, a man in his late
twenties, earned awards for his bravery and fighting expertise in
the war, but after being discharged from the U.S. Army, he has
trouble adjusting to civilian life. Suffering from manic
depression, he has trouble finding employment. After the tragic
death of his parents in a car crash, the only family he knows is
military men and women. Regularly speeding through traffic to get
to a truck stop for breakfast, he seeks to relieve his loneliness
and replete his hunger for human interaction.
History professor Bill Verde and his wife, Millie, learning
about Jack from one of Bill's colleagues and agree to help him get
back on his feet. The married couple's mission in life had become
taking care of down-and-out persons, finding value in each person
they help. How would Jack have them find his value?
When Jack utilizes the skills and discipline he acquired in
Vietnam and thwarts a robbery at a neighborhood store, people begin
to see him as a more responsible citizen. How will Jack respond so
that he can create the fresh start that he desires? Will he again
know Christmas joy?
