the book deals with a criminal subculture that exists among
a group of young U.S. soldiers in West Germany during the
fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The story centers on Army Spc. Ray Elwood (Joaquin Phoenix), clerk to the battalion commander, who uses his street smarts to swing deals and manipulate the system to create a relaxed atmosphere in which to spend his two-year stint in the military. Unbeknownst to Elwood, Army investigators operating through Elwood's enemy, Sgt. Lee, are zeroing in on him. Meanwhile, Elwood is falling in love with Lee's daughter Robyn.
