The story

In a housing project apartment in New York City, Johnny Pope lives with his pregnant wife Celia and his brother Polo. Johnny is a veteran who recently returned from the Korean War, in which he sustained an injury while surviving for days trapped in a cave. His survival made him a hero in the newspapers, but his ensuing recuperation in a military hospital left him secretly addicted to the painkiller morphine, with Polo his only family member aware of his condition.
