1967 is an explosive year in the Viet Nam War that culminates in
the bloody Tet Offensive of 1968. Second Lieutenant Sam, United
States Marine Corps, who as 1966 wound down considered himself
least likely to join the military, slogs through sniper infested
booby trapped rice paddies in search of the elusive Viet Cong.
Painfully aware of his newness at the beginning of his 13 month
tour, he wonders if he will be able to control his fear and gain
the respect of the young war hardened Marines he leads. Wading
through the wreckage of battle he considers how thin the veneer of
civilization seems to be and while he considers its frailty his own
moral compass loses its ability to find direction and leads him to
his own "Heart of Darkness" moment.
