In this drama, a brother and sister argue about the merits of a particular piece of art work while on vacation in San Diego,. The unlikely tourists find themselves at the base of the 25-foot bronze statue, titled "Unconditional Surrender", a replica of the WWII soldier kissing a nurse in Times Square.  The backstory of the iconic kiss comes into play here and soon emotions run high in accessing personal boundaries. Is "the kiss" a spontaneous, romantic moment between a soldier and a civilian, or is it an assault against an unsuspecting woman on the street? Either way, this tourist stop promises to be memorable.
