Nora Walker is told that her British fighter pilot husband is missing in action and presumed killed in World War II. On V.E. Day| Nora gives birth to their son| who
she names Tommy. While Tommy is an adolescent| Nora marries Frank| a shifty camp counselor. Shortly thereafter| Tommy suffers an emotionally traumatic experience
associated with his father and step-father| which| based on things told to him at that time| results in him becoming deaf| dumb and blind| a situation which several
people exploit for their own pleasure. As Nora tries several things to bring Tommy out of his psychosomatic disabilities| Tommy| now a young man| happens upon
pinball as a stimulus. Playing by intuition| Tommy becomes a pinball master| which in turn makes him| and by association Nora and Frank| rich and famous. Nora
literally shatters Tommy to his awakening| which ultimately leads to both the family's rise and downfall as people initially try to emulate Tommy's path then rebel
against it.
