Vietnam, Texas

Thomas McCain (Robert Ginty), an American GI, returns home and tries to wipe out the past by becoming a priest. He is haunted by his acts in Vietnam, where he had a baby with a Vietnamese lover but abandoned both of them. When he learns that his daughter has come to the U.S. with her mother, McCain goes to Houston to reconcile his newfound morality with his past and to try to get his daughter back from the notorious drug dealer whom the mother of his child has married.
