Description: In London, Canadian-born American war veteran Bill Saunders, uneducated, has always felt most at home at war in it matching his violent temper, his war experience only exacerbating that temper. It is that temper that gets him into potential trouble as a barroom brawl leads to him accidentally killing a man. Initially able to escape that situation and evade the police, he subsequently comes into the realm of two people who will individually shape his life. The first is shy public health nurse Jane Wharton, who, despite the non-trusting nature of their initial meeting and knowing deep in her heart that he did something wrong, is nonetheless drawn to him as the two start to fall for each other, she potentially being the source of redemption he needs in his life. Threatening that potential redemption is the second, Harry Carter, who witnessed Bill kill that man, and who believes he can use that information to blackmail Bill into helping him in some big score.
