Desires is a story about deep, family struggles and the power of forgiveness. The film's core is centered on a conflict between two fraternal twin brothers, Ethan and Jack. The plot is loosely paralleled to the biblical story of feuding brothers Jacob and Esau. Ethan (charismatic and athletic)and Jack (studious and quiet)have been in constant competition for their father's affections since childhood. Tensions rise when the patriarch must decide which son will inherit the family business and a precious family heirloom. Tension becomes bitterness and hatred when their mother proves treacherous. The family must find a path to redemption and healing before its too late.

Contrary to the hero's welcome received by other veterans, the majority of men returning from Vietnam were barely given a handshake of appreciation...much less parades and accolades. Their training did not prepare them to gracefully blend back into civilian life afterward, especially if some cruelly perceive you to be a 'baby killer.' This documentary takes a closer look at their service and family life. As each man recounts his story and contemplates the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, we get a glimpse into the lives of these unheralded heroes.
