Synopsis

"In Country" is a story about Samantha Hughes, a teenage girl from Kentucky who never knew her father, as he died in Vietnam before she was born. Samantha lives with her uncle Emmett Smith, who is also a Vietnam veteran. Emmett spends time with Tom, Earl, and Pete, three other veterans who, like him, struggle with issues related to their war experiences.

Sam, as Samantha is called, becomes fixated on learning about her father and his time in the war. However, Emmett and the other veterans are reluctant to discuss their past. Despite this, Sam convinces everyone to attend a dance honoring the town's veterans. Unfortunately, Pete and Earl end up in a fight, Emmett disappears, and Tom takes Sam home for a failed romantic encounter.

After reading her father's diary, Sam gains insight into his life and death. A visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial helps her and Emmett come to terms with the war's impact on their lives, at least temporarily.
