Its 4 years since Jack is back from Vietnam, but he still has nightmares. In a bus on his way to California he meets Carol, who just left her fiancée - only 4 days before their wedding, allegedly just for a few days of vacation. Jack happily tells her about his plans to set up a worm farm for fishing baits together with four of his Vietnam ex-comrades. Although he gets on her nerves at the beginning, she starts to care. When one after the other of his friends steps out and Jack looses his optimism, Carol remains as the last support that keeps him from despair.
Deemed "crazy" from the effects of combat in the Vietnam War, Jack Dunne has been in and out of the same VA Hospital in New York City for the last four years since he completed his tour of duty, the times out only when hes been able to escape. With the help of his fellow ward patients, most with who he fought in the war, they striving for the bright future that he offers, Jack is again able to escape, his mission, with limited funds, to make three stops across the country in Sedalia Missouri, Albuquerque New Mexico and ultimately Eureka California - those funds insufficient to make the entire trip by conventional means - to connect with three other vets with who he was in combat. Along the way, he meets Carol Bell, a young woman trying to make her way to Kansas City Missouri, only to turn around as she needs to be back in New York City within four days. While Carol initially wants nothing to do with Jack, she eventually needs to rely on him for financial reasons, then ultimately for emotional reasons. As Jack and Carol make the trek across the US together to try to get to their respective destinations, they get into one predicament after another, they both realizing that they cannot get the police involved in anything that happens as it means a one way trip back to the VA hospital for Jack. In the process, they will find just how much they will need each other emotionally, from Jacks side from how damaged he really is by the war.
