1918. The First World War. Private Warren White, an American soldier serving with the Expeditionary Forces on the Western Front, escapes the horrors of the battlefield by writing loving letters home to Victoria May, "Miss Vicky," his sweet and proper bride-to-be. Meanwhile, he maintains a lubricious correspondence with his mistress, Camille, graphically recounting their sexual trysts in explicit detail. Stranded in the fog of war, compounded when he suffers a disorienting mishap in battle, the young soldier unwittingly sets into motion a calamitous circumstance of events back home in Erie, Pennsylvania between the two ardently opposed women.
