Outline

Psychotic Vietnam war veteran Roscoe Martin (Kevin Conway), withholds anti-psychotic medication from a fellow patient in a war-stress recovery unit at a VA hospital, and after the patient leaps out a window during a subsequent hallucination, a second-degree murder charge is levelled at Martin, and Harm takes on the case pro bono. Disappointed with the direction of the case, Roscoe feels that the cards are stacked against him and engineers an escape from the VA hospital with three other patients. Their escape takes them to Harm’s apartment, and a negotiable situation turns deadly when guns are drawn and a SWAT team swoops in to help with what it sees as a hostage situation.
