A nurse who had served in Vietnam is found dead under questionable circumstances. After performing an autopsy on the unfortunate woman, Quincy (Jack Klugman) is alerted to the plight of the victim's best friend Rachel Kane (Karen Austin), also a nurse and likewise a Vietnam veteran. It soon becomes painfully obvious that Rachel is suffering from delayed-stress syndrome, and is "coping" with her depression by drinking heavily--and unless Quincy can come to her aid, the woman's plight may terminate fatally.
