Vietnam War veteran David Granger is taken to the hospital after he wraps his BMW around a tree. Medical tests reveal David had a brain tumor that he blames on the U.S. government for exposing him to Agent Orange during the war. As he recovers from brain surgery, he repeats the name of a Native American soldier he served with, Clayton Fire Bear, whom David had disciplined harshly. After being discharged from the hospital, David is helped by best friend Sue, a Vietnamese America woman, to reconnect with his distant son, Hank, and his seven-year-old granddaughter, Ella. As he finds peace with his family-even moving in with them-the aging vet also seeks to make amends with Clayton Fire Bear by returning a stolen ceremonial knife that he had given to his now-deceased wife.
