Summary
Peter Appleton, a 1950s Hollywood screenwriter who is about to see his first screenplay made into a film, is mistakenly called before the House Un-American Activities Committee. As a result, the studio pulls the plans for the film. Peter then finds himself in a small California town, his memory blanked out by an auto accident. There, he's mistaken by the citizenry to be a long-lost war hero ... an identity that Peter also comes to believe while restoring the town's shuttered movie palace and romancing the girlfriend he supposedly left behind years earlier. It's the perfect life and, perhaps, the perfect lie. But the truth is bound to come to the surface.
