In 1942, a group of young men join the Marines, leaving loved ones behind. Primed for battle, they are frustrated by many non-combat assignments, as we follow their wartime romances, especially Andy Hookens involvement with Pat, a New Zealand widow. Andy and Pat have just decided that war requires them to live for the moment when, in 1944, our team finally goes into a real battle.
