It’s Saturday night, July 31, 1971 — and on opposite sides of the world, Sarah and Dick are each having the kind of night they’ll never forget. She’s in Miami, swaying to the sound of Ray Charles at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. He’s in Vietnam, serving ribs, chicken, and “Allgood Punch” at a detachment party with his crew. But what stands out most is Dick’s unwavering certainty: they’re building a life on their own terms. Not their parents’, not anyone else’s. Just theirs.
