Eighteen-year-old immigrant Attila (Art) Nagy is pulled out of his college class by law enforcement on trumped up charges involving an American high school girl (Millie).The prospect of his detention and the Vietnam war are not the only obstacle faced by Art and Millie. Art struggles not only from past trauma stemming from a violent revolution and a daring escape from his native country, but also from racism in his adopted country, and within his own family and their obsession with purity of blood. Art was told not to get involved with a girl (especially an American girl) until he has his MD in hand. When his family discovers Millie's secret all hell breaks loose. The love story between Art and Millie is a love that would defy country, parents, churches, priests. Because he would rather go to hell with this American girl than to heaven with his so-called holy family. Because Attila (Art) Nagy would rather be lost than found. And he was lost, really lost in this girl's blue eyes where he could not only find his true self but love himself enough so that together they could go forth and live life.
