Overview

A young couple spending their honeymoon in a hotel in New Orleans' French Quarter wake up one morning to find the "girl's" body covered with mysterious bruises. The "boy;' on a short leave from serving in Vietnam, is enraged and blinded with jealously. As they fight - over her evasiveness, his courage or cowardice in war, their fears and expectations for a life together - it becomes clear that the bruises are no mystery at all.
