Soon, he meets Colleen Davis, a teller at the local bank and widow of another Korean War G.I. Wes and Colleen fall in love at first sight but are faced with her loyalty to the memory of her husband and public perception. The young couple begin a journey with many detours on their way to finding a life together. In the process, the dark side of Farnham is revealed along with a stunning discovery that links Wes and Colleen in an ironic twist of fate.
