Trailer

Plot summary

Miami police officer David Yuzuk has been friends for fifteen years with a homeless man, Richard J. Flaherty. Flaherty tells him who he claims to be: at four foot nine and ninety-five pounds, he was, he says, the smallest man ever to serve in the U.S. military. He describes rising to captain in the Green Berets and earning a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts for bravery in Vietnam and Thailand. Yuzuk, an investigator by trade, wants documents and newspaper clippings to check the story. Flaherty promises them but warns him away from an undercover operation he worked in the 1980s with federal agents, saying the case could be bad for Yuzuk's career and bad for his health. Yuzuk still wants the story verified.
