Brooklyn, 1952. It is Christmastime and a young sailor named Pete is home on leave, temporarily liberated from the war in Korea. He's back in the old neighborhood, discovering firsthand that the girl he left behind evidently meant what she said in the 'Dear John' letter she sent him. And he's back, facing off with Billy, the gruff Irish factory worker who is his father,yet seems forever a stranger,until Pete pays his first visits to the local bar where his father hangs out, the place where Billy seems most fully alive.
