Developer Frank R. Enley (Van Heflin) is a successful man, adored by his young wife and grateful neighbors, who admire his success. Limping Joe Parkson (Robert Ryan), who served in World War II with Frank, is a dark figure, angry, eager to kill, the very personification of evil. But nothing is what it seems in this bleak noir that calls into question the very notion of heroism and social standing.
