At the age of 18, Allen Nelson, an African American man driven by poverty and discrimination, enlists in the military in search of a way out. In the brutal battlegrounds of Vietnam, he is taught a single lesson: how to kill as many people as possible. In return, he receives only meager wages and the lasting trauma of PTSD. By 23, Allen is forced out of his home and left homeless. The only thread keeping him connected to the world is Dr. Daniels, a psychiatrist working at a veterans’ hospital who provides him with counseling and support.
