There's a hole in every human heart - the need to be loved. This story explores that need when a career naval officer from the wrong side of the tracks meets an anti-war doctor from one of Boston's oldest and richest families during the Vietnam War. Two courses collide in a nation torn apart by an unwanted war, testing love's ability to overcome the world's attempts to divide them. Ultimately, the opportunity for true love comes along once, maybe twice, in each of our lives. The question is, "Are we worthy of it?"
