Defying social convention in 1960, Laura marries before
finishing high school. After graduation, she sets out to
fulfill her dreams and discovers the depths and challenges
of love, honor and treachery. She joins her husband, a
navy seaman, and begins sailing the course of her life.
Laura’s journey into womanhood propels her into the
company of military families and personnel representing
the poor and the privileged, adversity and chaos.
Living in a trailer park in shantytown next to a military
base, she is subjected to the rawness that encircles her
and her family and struggles to conquer its adversities
while finding humor and love in itslighter side. North
meets South and cultural differences clash. Surrounded
in a maelstrom of hardship mixed with joy, Laura’s
naiveté fades against startling encounters in navy and
civilian countercultures. Her strict moral upbringing is
challenged when a mob member offers to eliminate a
cruel member of her family to protect herchildren. Will
she be driven to murder?
