Joe Keller and SteveDeever, partners in a machine shop during World War II, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison while Keller escaped punishment and went back to business, making himself very wealthy in the ensuing years. In Millers work of tremendous power, a love affair between Kellers son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Steves daughter, the bitterness of George Keller, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his fathers partner free, and the reaction of a son to his fathers guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity.
