During the Great Depression, a hard-drinking drifter returns to his Albany hometown on Halloween after decades away. As he scrapes by on odd jobs, missions, and cheap rooms, he tries to face old guilt, reconnect with the family he left behind, and hold on to a fragile bond with a fellow down-and-out companion.
