In the spring of 1967, Larry Richards was drafted into the Vietnam War. The conflict was intensifying. Casualties were rising. Twelve months of snipers, ambushes, and Agent Orange awaited. He was 21 years old.

In the fall of 1990, Steven Bott was finishing up a day at work when the unthinkable happened. Several weeks later he woke up in a hospital bed with no memory, physically and cognitively crippled. He was 21 years old.

These stories are connected through Chris Richards, Larry’s oldest son and Steven’s close childhood friend. The immense challenges that followed both men would haunt Chris, shaping his life. It wouldn’t be until many years later, when faced with his own crisis, that he would be able to look past his fears and grief and find inspiration within their broken lives.
