Just outside of smog-covered Pittsburgh, the gritty town of Avon is home to blue-collar families just trying to scrape by. One of those, the Sampsons, have seen more than their fair share of tragedy. Ed Sampson worked in the mill and fathered three sons over a 20-year period. But after oldest son Nate died in Vietnam, things unraveled at home, and Ed took off. Middle son Nevin, a photographer, headed to Southeast Asia to trace Nate’s footsteps and learn what he could about his older brother’s fate. And now, in 1978, he’s missing and presumed dead. That leaves the youngest Sampson boy, Nick, basically on his own. Nick barely avoided the military draft and, when he’s not drinking, works at the local bottling plant.

It also pulls Nick and Gina closer together as he battles his demons and searches for answers.
