Camp outs and cold sodas at the drugstore mark the extent of their adventures. But as they mature during the turbulent decade of the 60's, they learn the very real lessons of love, courage and devotion.

From high school graduation to the dangerous skies over the Soviet Union, Will and June hold against a tide race of circumstance, anchored only by childlike audacity and a fervent hope for the future.
