A group of working-class friends decide to enlist in the Army during the Vietnam War and finds it to be hellish chaos -- not the noble venture they imagined. Before they left, Steven married his pregnant girlfriend -- and Michael and Nick were in love with the same woman. But all three are different men upon their return.

The Devil sets his sights on Sam Silverstein, a sexually frustrated sixty-five-year-old Jewish husband in crisis, whom he selects as an easy mark. At first Silverstein resists, but as life moves from one disappointment to another, he agrees to sell his soul for a chance to make out with a pretty young thing.
