Plot

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, who is 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 goes to meet 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 actually 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 is revealed that Harry and David were having 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 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.
