Film Synopsis:
Albany, New York, Halloween, 1938. Francis Phelan and Helen Archer are drifters, returning to their hometown. He was a singer on the radio, he was a major league pitcher. Death surrounds them: he is sick, a best friend has cancer, he digs graves in a cemetery and visits the grave of his infant son whom he dropped; Visions of his past haunt him, including the ghosts of the two men he killed. That night, out drinking, Helen tries to sing in a bar. The next day, Fran visits his wife and children and meets a grandson. He could have stayed, but decided it wasnt for him. Helen gets their stuff out of storage and finds a hotel. Amid their mistakes and negligence, the film explores their code of justice and loyalty. Uploaded by: Freeman November 01, 2019 at 10:40 am
