Thomas Dunns is tired ... tired of living under an alias name and guilty of lying, running away, and hiding, never imagining he would return to New York City after his desertion from the Army fifty years earlier ... but here he is, walking the New York City streets of his youth, paranoid someone will recognize him, despite his disguise and age.

Little did he realize how his attempt to rekindle forgotten memories for his confessional memoir would surprisingly reveal supposed stories about his heroics and demise in Vietnam ... and trigger his obsession to reconnect with Mary, his first love as a teenager.
