Back is the story of Charley Summers, who is back from the war and a
POW camp having lost the woman he loved, Rose, to illness before he left
and his leg to fighting. In other words, Charley has very little to come
back to, only memories, and on top of that he has been deeply
traumatized by his experience of war. Rose's father introduces him to
another young woman, Nancy, and Charley becomes convinced that she is in
fact Rose and pursues her. Back is at once a Shakespearean comedy of
mistaken identities, a voyage into the world of madness, and a
celebration of the improbable healing powers of love.
