Jackson and Tony are two retired buddies who met in the army in Vietnam. Tony, a devout Christian, although perhaps a member of the frozen chosen, has been witnessing to Jackson since they occupied adjoining beds in a military hospital. Jackson, who becomes a science teacher after his tour of duty, has successfully repelled Tony's personal application of the Great Commission. When Tony's granddaughter moves in with Tony to attend college, the dynamics of the relationship between the two best friends changes drastically.
