January, 1986. In the aftermath of the devastating Space Shuttle
Challenger tragedy, an entire nation is in shock. Thirty miles
south of Cape Canaveral and the mourning Kennedy Space Center lies
the sleepy town of Nation Beach, Florida. A world unto itself;
where life is slow and difficult. Where long, cold banks of waves
roll onto the brown shoreline and abandoned piers stand like silent
guards to the distant rocket launchers clinging to the horizon.
It is here that three young men, affected by the difficult
variables of life, hatch a plan to rob a convenience store in the
hopes of solving their respective problems and fading dreams. In
the course of one extraordinary day, their lives become
inextricably linked with one of the saddest days in our nation's
history. Rocketship Nation provides an intimate but devastating
glimpse into a history all too recent; it is the epitaph of the
American Dream gone awry.
