About

1969-1970 - In the blink of an eye, the first draft lottery changed everything. Vietnam? Canada? Conscientious objection? Suddenly, every young man faced a decision that could mean life or death. Based on real events, this is the story of six men during their senior year at Kent State and the choices they made.

Don Williams is on his way to his college reunion. As he drives through town, all the old memories come flooding back. It all looks the same, and yet everything has changed.

He goes into his fraternity house not knowing what to expect or who will be there. Were they successful? Who had they married? What had they become? Had they survived? While he waits, his thoughts travel back to the days when he was young, carefree, and full of hope. His fraternity brothers, the girl he lost his virginity to, the classes that seemed so difficult all rush back. He relives the last year of his college life as it spirals out of control. No one could have predicted the crazy events of that historic year.

LIFE'S WHAT HAPPENS is about Don and his classmates' stories, as each is faced with questions much more complicated and difficult than any generation past or present. Based on actual events, this is the untold story about the year they turned from boys to men and how they were forced to make decisions that would change their lives forever and, in many cases, would mean life or death.
