A psychiatrist (Pryce) in a military mental institution during World War One is responsible for treating shell-shocked soldiers and returning them to battle. He's tormented with the morality of this task upon hearing first hand graphic war stories from his patients. The situation brings him dangerously close to the edge of a mental breakdown. (official distributor synopsis)
