Three steelworkers enlist in the army and are sent to Vietnam, one leaving behind a rushed marriage, the others a shared love. What they encounter during the war changes their lives forever.
Can a lifetime of shared brotherhood and small-town ritual survive the psychological wreckage of a jungle war? This heavy, soul-crushing portrait follows steelworkers as they trade their quiet lives for a fractured reality of survival and trauma.
