The Paths They Walked

Graduating from High School two friends, one male and one female, face life in the late 1960s. While Susan rushes forward moving to New York City, embracing the world eagerly, Dan, indecisive and unsure of himself, remains in his hometown where he sullenly muddles his way forward with no plan. The paths they head down outwardly appear completely divergent, but in reality, there is a strangely vague parallel to them. The difference is within themselves and how they react to the events in their lives. The two separately make their ways through that socially turbulent time, never noticing how each decision they make affects the courses their lives take in the era of Vietnam, "sex, drugs, rock and roll" and "tune in, turn on, drop out". Neither one seems to be able to recognize the opportunities to change their direction when they see them as they head towards the climactic moments of their lives.
