In the summer of 1969, as America's intervention in Vietnam moves toward its ugly climax in Southeast Asia and it's even uglier corruption of the home-front commonweal, a group of young boys and girls in a small midwestern town find themselves faced with an existential crisis generations in the making. The narrator Joe and his friends Frank, Benny, Dallas, Moon Man, Tina and Carol, though barely conscious of the larger picture, are all nevertheless sucked into a vortex of self-delusion, betrayal and violent tragedy.
