Explores the lunar New Year 1960 and the dynamic relationship between two competing groups vying for control in Vietnam. One group, led by US Ambassador Elbridge Durbrow, worked toward directing Vietnam towards an American-style democracy. The other group, headed by the country's President attempted to navigate the demands of Durbrow and the State Department and to confront internal opposition and an emerging external threat while trying to further the goals of the Republic.
