Decades after leading a recon platoon through the Mekong Delta, decorated Wyoming veteran Lee Alley returns to Vietnam with John Nguyen, whose family fled the country in 1975. Together they revisit the battlefields that still haunt Lee, reunite John with family, and meet the Vietnamese soldiers Lee once fought, finding an unexpected peace more than 50 years later.
