Handsome Harry is the story of Harry Sweeney's journey to find forgiveness from an old Navy friend. One day, Harry gets a call from an old Navy buddy, Kelley, on his deathbed. At first, Harry wants nothing to do with Kelley, but soon, memories and guilt overcome him, and he goes on a journey to confront his old friends.
First, he meets Kelley in a Philadelphia hospital. Kelley asks Harry to seek forgiveness from David on his behalf. Kelley dies in the hospital the next day. Harry then goes on to meet more of his Navy buddies to find the truth about what happened the night they assaulted David together. Somebody dropped a generator on David's hand that night, but Harry could not recollect who it was.
In time, it's revealed that Harry and David had an affair back in the Navy. Kelley found Harry and David in a sexually compromising position in the shower. In fear of repercussion, Harry turned on David. Kelley and the rest of the gang, including Harry, got drunk and assaulted David. It was in the end revealed that Harry was the one who dropped the generator on David, maiming him for life.
