A love black lie set against the backdrop of the 1960s among the turbulent years of anti-war disapproval, wit observation and disconcert 'n' roar, striking from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the a rampage-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam.
