As kids, PJ and Moose were rarely out of each other's sight. Then, the 1960's happen. PJ's thrill-seeking accelerates. After stops at a psychiatric hospital, military school, and the Marines, he becomes a fixture on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Moose enters college, but can't overcome his restlessness. He quits, lands in Vietnam, and finds himself alone in the back of his pickup years after the War. But, worlds apart, PJ and Moose maintain their boyhood connection.
