Any Way But Home — David Shannon

Paul, a high school student, struggles with his identity and circumstances. He chooses to leave his hometown to go to Vietnam to lose his past and redefine himself. He is disappointed to find he has even more difficulty facing who he is as well as his future. After numerous personal struggles he returns to the US and finds no place where he can find peace of mind to start fresh for a future so elusive. Guilt, pain, and memories from high school, Vietnam, and his return to the States haunt him until he feels the necessity to return to a town that has no past but hopefully a future.
