1975 – On the day of the Fall of Saigon, a decorated Vietnam War pilot is kidnapped while leaving a bar in Alongapo with a prostitute. His body is dumped outside the US Naval base in Subic Bay, arms and head cut off.
As the story hits the media, Teodore Fragio, high school teacher in Portuguese Cove, has to confront his past war crimes when on a mission to rescue this same pilot when shot down earlier in the war.
Soon after, a postman in rural Alabama is similarly murdered by machete. He was the cox'sun of the river boat on which Fragio served.
Convinced that someone is seeking revenge on the entire crew, the gunner, now a peyote guide in his hometown of Naco, Arizona, reacts by leaving his wife and new baby, and takes a client deep into the Senora Desert.
Fragio just wants to live his life in denial. But the boat's engineer, a legislator in Texas, running for Congress, understandably worries about his political future if their crimes come to light. He convinces Fragio to find the gunner to pay him for his silence.
He takes his friend, Norm Aveiro, on a disastrous road trip into the deep desert, one step behind the killer. The road then leads to a bloody office in the state capitol building in Austin, and finally at the foot of the stairs in Teo's own home, where the Vietnamese murderer threatens to execute his children.
This is a story of revenge and redemption, spiritual awakening and the brutal reality of war.
