Veterans Rooster, Frankie and Rod return from Vietnam to their everyday lives full of innocent love, giddy excitement and hungry expectations. They get married, find jobs, make homes but two decades later the life-shattering legacy of war still lurks over them like the enemy, threatening to shoot their hearts out. The women in their lives continue to try and make homes against all odds. Told in a spare yet evocative voice, this is a story of deep hungers, the brevity of solace and the limits of devotion to help those we love.
