Whenever John Romero was asked if he lost his eye when wounded in Vietnam, he always got a confused look when he replied, "No. Santo Domingo." As a former minor league baseball player with just six weeks left to serve in the Army, Romero's plans for making a comeback are interrupted when his unit is unexpectedly deployed to the Dominican Republic to protect Americans caught in a quickly escalating civil war.

Romero plots a course to win her affections, but the political intrigue and the carnage in the streets conspire to thwart his every move. Then one day he makes a drastic decision that literally blows up in his face.
