Amongst the defeated Germany facing her fate at Nuremberg and a Red scare making its mark in every household laid stories of courage, celebration, and the realization of destinies.

Black pilot and war hero Travis Jackson's homecoming to Mississippi results in another battle, this time for equality. Award-winning war correspondent Shaylin McKay faces up to her devastating dread of love after losing two men to the terrors of war. Gifted Hollywood director Guy Colby, branded a Communist, watches his dreams fade as the witch-hunt continues.
