The Sand Fiddlers
A Rogue Green Beret's Escape From the
Memories of Vietnam
Alex Driscoll, a US Army Special Forces combat veteran, seeks solitude on an isolated
section of beach while awaiting a discharge forced upon him due to an unauthorized
eighteen-month mission to avenge the torture and butchering of his teammates at the hands
of a Viet Cong death squad. A mysterious blonde-haired woman shows up unexpectedly
and ruins his plans for seclusion. Suspecting she is either a war protestor or sent by
the Criminal Investigation Division of the Army’s Military Police, he tries to keep her
distant. His suspicion dissipates when she reveals her lack of modesty and disclosure
of childhood sexual abuse, retaliation, and possibly murder in a past as dark as his own.
She claims she only seeks answers about the demons possessing a former friend who
didn’t return from the same jungle. The strangers are drawn closer throughout the day
and night, only for him to discover the circumstances of the former friend aren’t what
they seemed. Torn between reality and fantasy, his realization that he has fallen in love
may have come too late to save the developing romance.
