More Info

A troubled Vietnam Vet, Vince Stone hooked on dope and booze wages war against his P.T.S.D. He joined the army to escape his dysfunctional family but discovered returning home on furlough that the anti-war movement has turned his home into a bitter, hostile and cold place. To make matters worse, Vince cannot seem to abate the nightmares from Vietnam; his buddies' deaths relived night after night, and the only outlet is through substance abuse. The war has ravaged Vince from the inside out and his mood swings were impossible to control.After the death of Gonzales, Vince is forced into a black ops situation and certain death, when he convinces his new wife, with a secret past to go A.W.O.L to Canada. Frozen and near death they witness a miracle in the form of Duffy. Finally, they find refuge with a hippie commune deep in the Canadian woods, but the F.B.I., are hot on their trail thanks to his wife. Chance is born in a mountain man's cabin where they have complete privacy, then after an escape from a ravenous wolf pack Vince is finally cornered in a Vancouver park by the F.B.I. to face desertion charges. He then escapes into an amnesty program where his world, in an instant, is shattered and destroyed. After many years of absence, Vince and Chance, now a teenager, finally reunite by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
