A Long Day to Denver

Coming of age during America's turbulent Vietnam War era, Andrew Starkey takes a comical road trip to Colorado with high school friends. He falls in love with the Rocky Mountains and Nancy, a local girl.
Despairing at separation from these two new loves, Andrew flunks out of college and gets drafted. He meets Danny Sevilla, a fellow soldier with a Colorado connection that serves as catalyst for their friendship. After stateside training, they serve together at a Special Forces outpost in Vietnam.
Returning to civilian life, the friends reconnect in Denver. Andrew works exhausting days and, at night, cruises the clubs looking for someone to fill the void left when Nancy gives up on him and moves on. Then, he meets Susan.
Danny has found easy money in the drug trade, and Andrew's warnings are dismissed by his friend. However, time is running out for Danny, and the two young men move toward a tragedy neither could have imagined.
