Plot:
When a 21-year-old soldier named Andrew "Andy" Brooks is killed in the Vietnam War, his mother Christine is summoning him, asking him to please come back home. Andy is the pride and joy of Christine, who only has eyes for him. When the Brooks family is having dinner, they receive a letter from the U.S. Army telling them that Andy has died in the war. However, Andy arrives at home that same night, surprising his father Charles, his sister Cathy and Christine. At the same time that this happens, a truck driver that is giving a rider to a hitchhiker is murdered in his truck. Soon, Charles suspects that Andy is the killer and he has a conversation with his friend Dr. Allman, who agrees with him. Did Andy really come back home?
