About
In 1970 Owney Morrison is back from Vietnam with a Congressional Medal of Honor, a wife, a baby, and a problem with alcohol. Owney blunders forth into a world of his own making, but a world, nonetheless, that wants no part of him. Returned to his Queens home in 1970 after winning a Congressional Medal of Honor in Vietnam, Owney Morrison works at digging tunnels during the day and escapes with drink at night--from everything, including his wife Dolores and their child.
