Johnny plays drums at midnight, but his survival is tentative.

In this drama, a man caught between disparate cultures: Native American and Anglo, attempts to deal with being in between. Shipped out to Southeast Asia in the 60's; the experience scars him. Johnny returns... he's changed, he's deranged. The story begins after he is arrested and sentenced to 30 days for urinating in public. He is ridiculed by the locals and without medication, suffers distinguishing reality from fiction. The "man" wants to right his mind, but he's having none of it. He breaks out and hides in the forest. There he suffers conflicting visions concerning his problems. A young girl stumbles across him and takes him to an isolated cabin. He is happy there, but his problems are far from over.—Ørnås
