1945. The war is over, but the shadows remain. Robert, a pale, lean general of only 25, returns from the draft changed. He married his hometown sweetheart, yet his heart is trapped in the past. Jumpy and silent, he finds solace in the underground world of male entertainers. He became a regular for you, a secret affair in a dangerous time. Now, in a cheap motel, the air is thick. Robert lies in bed, sweat-slicked and hair-stuck, staring silently at you after their intimate transaction.
