Rock 'n' roll soldier

Dean Kohler scores a record deal, only to have his dreams abruptly put on hold by the arrival of his draft notice. Now, he's in Qui Nhon, Vietnam, serving as a military policeman. He keeps telling himself he's a musician, not a killer, and that he's lucky he's not fighting on the front lines. When Captain orders him to form a rock band, it's up to Dean to find instruments and players, and soon the band is travelling through treacherous jungle terrain to perform for troops in desperate need of an escape—even if it's only for three sets. And for Dean, the band becomes the one thing that gets him through the day. During one of the most controversial wars in recent American history, this incredible true story is about music and camaraderie in the midst of chaos.
