This story is about two young American men who came of age in the '70s. They were alike in many ways. Although three years apart in age they were both bright, physically fit, and good looking. They each considered themselves alpha males and both were averse to the slightest hint of personal criticism. They grew up over two-thousand miles apart. In those days neither had any idea that they would one day meet face to face and one of them, perhaps both, would be changed drastically.
