Sông Bé: A Legacy of Vietnam is a factually-based narrative told in flashback from a present-day evening concert at the New Orleans Orpheum Theater. It features a fit, world-renowned architect, Richard Foxworth, a West Point graduate, who reacts to what his wife finds in his old Army footlocker. It triggers long-buried memories of his role as a second lieutenant in the Vietnam War Tet Offensive battle of Sông Bé in 1968, the physical wounds he sustained in the battle, his treatment at Rollingwood Sanitarium for post-traumatic stress, the dream that haunted him nightly after the battle, and the emotional loss of a West Point classmate. Threaded through the story is a history of the American civil rights movement since the 1950s.
