Seventeen-year-old Richie Perry leaves his Harlem high school and enlists in the United States Army during the summer of 1967. Sent to Vietnam, he spends a devastating year on active duty. Combat and uncertainty dismantle the expectations with which he entered military service, while the people serving beside him become central to survival. His experience reveals the distance between official accounts of war and the reality faced by young soldiers.
