Taylor is a rebellious teenager with a habit of sneaking out to hang with his anti-war friends. In January 1968 his mother drags him off to Saigon where his father is attached to the United States embassy; bored (and still rebellious) Taylor sneaks out of the embassy to watch the Tet celebrations, just as the war erupts all over Vietnam. There, he is captured by the North Vietnamese Army and sent North as a prisoner and hostage-- and during the brutal journey Taylor is forced to confront the realities of war and survival for the first time in his sheltered life.
