A local town hero and former football star returns home from the Vietnam war to a life he no longer recognizes. Erick Hansford, once worshipped by his peers, begins his search to find meaning in life when he enters the dangerous and deceitful game of politics in 1960's New Jersey. Erick's rapid rise to political fame is met with many conflicts along the way, including battles with the inner-demons alcoholism, adultery with his first love, government corruption and a vicious fight for his family estate. The big game of life after the war is beyond anything Erick has ever faced on the football field or on the battlefield, but nonetheless he must continue to fight to protect his legacy - and even save his own life - both of which are now at stake.
