Going all in

     When the lights dim and the curtain rises, the audience is transported to a time they’ve never known, or perhaps it will take them back.
    It’s Nov. 21, 1963 and a group of young U.S. Marines are preparing to ship out to a growing conflict in  Southeast Asia, unaware and unconcerned of what lies ahead, because for now it’s all about one last night they won’t forget.
    So they throw a dogfight, but the rules of the game change when private first class Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, a dreamer who demonstrates the power of love and compassion when it’s least deserved.
