From the calm fields of Sweet Water, Alabama and the hell of Okinawa to the dawn of a nuclear age and its awful potential, Solly, Silace and Sky George bear witness to the brutality of war and the unleashing of a new and terrible weapon. The family upbringing of love and friendship bonds them tightly together but will it be enough on the long and uncertain road ahead.
