Synopsis

At 18 Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brains, looks, sporting aptitude and luck with the ladies. His parents run The Hero, a favourite local watering hole, and Danny is a local hero. Luck changes for Danny when he signs up to go to war. He returns home a physically broken man, to a life that will be changed forever.
