Two big families, three generations, spanning 70 years, 11 criss-crossing life journeys. On the Damascus road late at night, the car of a young woman and her fiancé was stopped by two policemen; on a Vietnam War battleship, the dead souls in the water and endless coins were lingering in the minds of the soldiers; in front of their villa, a lonely white child peered curiously The life of a family of new black neighbors... They are legal elites, Hollywood talent scouts, Shakespeare scholars, and retired soldiers from the Vietnam War. They are a picture of all living beings that span professions and classes, races, genders, and generations. They are intertwined and quietly intertwined with a torrent of destiny. No one knew that those fleeting moments, the injuries they had suffered, and the paths they had traveled had already described their later appearance.
