    A handful of emotionally-scarred Vietnam vets hide out in Washington's rain forest, living as if the fighting might erupt at any time. One day it did...John Lithgow (Shrek, Footloose) stars as a self-exiled 'bush vet' and Ralph Macchio (My Cousin Vinny, The Karate Kid) co-stars as the son he hasn't seen in fifteen years. Their uneasy reunion accidentally sparks war-haunted violence - and father and son share a harrowing fight for survival that will either destroy them or unify them forever.
