Spoilers ahead
In late 1972 Belfast, amid the uneasy quiet before a storm of violence, Cain Adams—a disturbed American soldier who has deserted from the Vietnam War—arrives with one clear aim: to return to the United States. Yet the port remains closed to him for about a week, leaving him to drift through the city’s shadowed streets and dim corners until fate nudges him toward a tense encounter with a middle‑aged prostitute. In her apartment, Cain humiliates her and menaces her with a knife before he finally leaves, his mind already turning the strange detour into another kind of burden.
