Gene is tired and lost. The death of his latest flame, Marilyn has strained and drained him. Ken, Marilyn's son, has now settled in Hawaii with his new love, Leilani.

Within days of Marilyn's funeral, several survivors of the Vietnam War appear into Gene's life. Jesus, a severely disabled and now alcoholic 1st Cavalry enlisted man is living on the streets of Richmond, CA. Pipes and B, former Marines now cops in Richmond, are working to make the streets a safer place and to take care of helpless Vets. And Maxine, a R&R weekend fling during the middle of the war and Jesus' nurse in Vietnam, has decided to look for a rekindling of lost soulmates.

Upon Pipes urging, Gene agrees to spend some quiet time grieving and rejuvenating in Pipe's mountain cabin near Mt. Shasta. While hiking one morning on the mountainside, he encounters a beautiful, mysterious, white haired, young Native American woman, Cynthia Two Clouds.

Love, lust, and duty propel Gene through an impassioned maze of experiences that proves he's a survivor and a hero to his most treasured friends.
