The year is 1966. Bob Sievers is drafted into the U.S. Army during the height of the Vietnam war and the social unrest that swept the globe during the mid-1960s. Unworldly, Bob leaves his family for the first time and is catapulted to Heidelberg Germany, the headquarters of the U.S. Army, Europe. During two years of new experiences, Bob has a series of exciting international adventures. Then he and his friends visit East Berlin, going through the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain by walking across Checkpoint Charlie. There, they experience the dark reality of the Cold War. They see the emptiness of East Berlin. Afterwards, with a sense of unease, they leave the East, recrossing Checkpoint Charlie to return to West Berlin. After this remarkable journey of discovery, he returns to the Bronx no longer the same person. Bob then has to quickly decide where his future lies.
