Annie, the young lady, has a young son whose father has been killed in this war. Can she build a new life for herself and her son? She befriends a young black woman and her son. Will she be able to keep them safe? Both Annie and Mark must face the consequences of choices they made in the past. He is helped by a poet, just gaining fame. She is comforted by a famous man as he tours the battlefield. See if they can find love as they confront the random violence of war.
