Having been discharged from the Marines for a hayfever condition before ever seeing action, Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith delays the return to his hometown, feeling that he is a failure. While in a moment of melancholy, he meets up with a group of Marines who befriend him and encourage him to return home to his mother by fabricating a story that he was wounded in battle with honorable discharge.

A charmingly awkward journey of a man wrestling with expectations. It's a wry, bittersweet look at small-town life, hero worship, and the messy truth behind the facade. Feels like a warm, slightly uncomfortable hug from your past.
