Vietnam veteran Jud Carney returns to Los Angeles at Christmas time and finds out it's not how he thought it was going to be. When Jud discovers his fiancee has left him, he moves into a boarding house peopled with "types." Flashback memories of the war and the suicide of a fellow house resident reduce Jud to a broken and bitter man.
