After 17 years of mourning her Vietnam‑war husband Jake, a woman is shocked when he appears alive at her doorstep. She must explain his return to the children who never knew him and to the man who has filled his role. The family grapples with disbelief, loyalty and the impossible choice of welcoming a man thought dead back into their lives.
