Between Ink and Gunfire

Saigon, 1966. Võ Thanh An is a university student who spends his spare time working in his family’s bookshop. Dean Hale is a young American Army officer who voluntarily enlisted to follow a family tradition of military service. When Dean walks into An’s shop looking for stationery and a Vietnamese phrasebook, neither expects the encounter to become anything important. But Dean keeps returning, and what begins as teasing conversation slowly becomes a relationship neither man can safely ignore. As the war grows closer to An’s everyday life, the future they’re quietly building becomes increasingly uncertain.
