A retired British soldier struggles to adjust to everyday life, with increasing difficulty.

Reuben, having been discharged from the British military, returns to London after a tour of duty in Northern Ireland and the Falklands, where he was decorated as a war Hero.

Within time, he realises his illustrious army record holds no sway in everyday life.—Anonymous
