二战时期，理发师弗兰克带着妻儿驻扎在美军军事基地麦考伊港时发生的琐事。该基地也是监押日本、德国战犯的战俘营，战俘在营地自由活动。德国血统的弗兰克不能入伍，矛盾地目睹了年幼的女儿与战俘成为朋友，直到一名越狱党卫军闯入他的住所威胁爱妻的安危。新锐女导凯特•康纳身兼编导演三职，将母亲幼年亲身经历的往事搬上银幕，虽是初次执掌导筒，影片在独立电影节上却获得很高评价。艾瑞克•斯托兹（《低俗小说》）和群体演员的低调表演十分令人信服。

When 80s B-movie icon Tim Thomerson wakes up one day to realize the acting roles are not coming his way any more, he sets out on a quest to find his former co-star Lance Henriksen to discover his secret of Hollywood longevity and gets more than he bargained for in the process.
