Summary

All that remains of the hell that was Vietnam is a suffocating nightmare gnawing at his mind on the streets of New York. As Jacob Singer searches for the truth amid the hallucinations caused by his post-traumatic stress disorder, the people and places around him begin to melt away and become distorted, one by one. Directed by Adrian Lyne, this tangled web of mystery and drama lays bare the breathless struggle of a veteran lost in the darkest recesses of his mind. This paranoid journey, stretching from subway tunnels to dimly lit streets, takes place in an eerie world where memories and nightmares blur together. As Jacob struggles to hold on to his sanity, the ghosts of his past continue to close in on him from every corner.
