Coming-of-age during America's turbulent Vietnam War era, Andrew Starkey takes a comical road trip to Colorado with high school friends. He falls in love with the Rocky Mountains and Nancy, a local girl. Despairing at separation from these two new loves, Andrew flunks out of college and gets drafted. In the Army he meets Danny Sevilla, a fellow soldier with a Colorado connection that serves as catalyst for their friendship. After state-side training they serve together at a Special Forces outpost in Vietnam. Returning to civilian life Andrew works exhausting days and, at night, cruises the Denver clubs looking for someone to fill the void when Nancy gives up on him and moves on. Then he meets Susan. Danny has found easy money in the drug trade, and Andrew's warnings are ignored by his friend. But time is running out for Danny and the two young men move towards a tragedy neither could have imagined.
