During the early 1950s, Peter Appleton, an up-and-coming young screenwriter, is accused of being a Communist because he attended an antiwar meeting in college years before, a meeting he claims he only attended to impress a girl. In an instant, his new film is pushed back for a few months, the credit is given to someone else, his movie star girlfriend leaves him, and his contract with the studio is dropped.
His career in ruins, he gets drunk and accidentally drives his car off a bridge. When he wakes up, his memory lost, he is in a small town called Lawson after being fished out by Stan Keller who takes him to the local doctor. The townsfolk believe him to be Luke Trimble, one of the town boys killed in World War II 9 years before, and embrace him as a symbol of hope. "Luke" is at first mildly hesitant to embrace this life but he eventually settles in to "his old life", and with his "father" Harry and his "girlfriend" Adele Stanton, starts to restore the "Majestic" theater, an old movie house that had been closed because of hard times.
