1950年,美国的一中部小镇生活像往常一样。人们开始有冷战偏执狂,而年轻男性的最大的担忧是从和平时期的军队板和草案的延期。In 1950, life as usual in a middle-American town. Cold War paranoia is beginning; the young men's biggest concern is the draft board and deferments from the peacetime army. Then the Korean War begins, and the Greer family starts to worry: kid brother Jack, courting the lovely daughter of the draft board chairman, is next on the list. A character study examining American attitudes of that era.
