Overview:

When Sam Mattas went off to serve his country in World War II, everyone, of course, assumed he would return the same man: strong, stalwart and dependable. But his experience has weakened him, in outward ways as well as ways that are unseen.

When word gets around that he tried to shoot his own brother and he claims to see men on the mountain, men doing nefarious things, tongues begin wagging about his sanity. His wife Annie wonders where her loving husband has gone, what her sweet little Rosie’s father has turned into. And is she putting their lives at risk by staying with him?
