It's the early 1970s, and Melissa and her friends are beginning their first year of college in the inner city of Chicago. Post-assassination riots, Great Society scholarship programs, and veterans returning from Vietnam are creating a sometimes explosive confluence of urban and rural, rich and poor, white and black, educated and uneducated coming of age in a violent, unjust, and hopeful time that illuminates the shadows of war and the tragic limitations of colliding ideologies and ambitions.
