This is a story of love and friendship like no other. A story of a crime which shakes that love and friendship to the very core and begs an answer to the question What would you do for love?.
It is 1964, the Beatles are topping the charts in America while on the other side of world the Vietnam War is escalating. In a small, one-light town in the Hudson Valley of upstate New York lives Danny Fosse, who is an average fourteen-year old kid who is becoming more and more confused and disillusioned by the world around him. His idyllic small-town life takes a dreadful turn when one of his friends is the victim of a brutal attack. Confused and angry over what transpired, Danny and another friend play a prank of sorts for revenge. Things don't go as planned, setting in motion a series of shocking events which tests beliefs in family, faith, love and friendship. At the same time young kids go missing from the area without explanation and, just when things could seemingly get no worse, the long, bloody tentacles of Vietnam reach half way around the world to tap this small town on the shoulder. All of these events seem to be unrelated. But are they?
In this formative decade of his life, Danny is transformed by the world around him while he searches for something that always seems to be just out of his reach. Ultimately, another singular event occurs which puts everything he has gone through in clear focus and gives his life meaning and purpose.
What would you do for love?
