Amy copes by writing and burying herself in her summer job and her own dream world. But, this tomboyish loner is growing up at the same time, starting a relationship with budding musician Jeff, who's got his own trouble to contend with. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, Mike battles with both physical and psychological enemies while protecting an orphaned girl.
