Plot

In the tranquil landscapes of Kentucky, a teenage girl named Samantha Hughes embarks on a poignant journey to uncover the life of a father she never knew, a life extinguished on the battlefields of Vietnam before her birth. Under the same roof lives her uncle, Emmett Smith, a Vietnam veteran himself, a silent guardian tangled in the web of his own war memories. Emmett's companions, Tom, Earl, and Pete, fellow veterans each burdened with their own haunting war relics, form a tight-knit but troubled fraternity. Known affectionately as Sam, she fosters a growing obsession with her father's past, seeking to unearth the echoes of his experience from the reticent veterans around her. Yet, the war-torn memories prove too painful to utter for Emmett and his band. An energizing force, Sam incites everyone to attend a local dance honoring the veterans, but the event spirals into a turmoil of confrontation and disappearance. A failed romantic encounter with Tom and a revealing peek into her father's diary send Sam spiraling deeper into the labyrinth of her father's life, and through his words, she begins to grasp the significance of his existence and demise. Culminating her emotional quest at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Sam and Emmett momentarily reconcile with the war's enduring shadow over their lives, finding a fragile peace in the heart of their shared legacy.
