In sleepy Sweet Water, Alabama, one family has had its fair share of conflict but still Christian George does his duty, like his father and uncle before him.

The Vietnam War was different to other wars though, a war that couldn't be won, one that kept service personnel imprisoned for the longest time in US history and their families suffering from uncertainty for years. Many of those incarcerated didn't live to see home again and those that did discovered their 'war' was far from over; their story had only just begun.
