The Chequer Board

John Turner, a young man with a chequered past, has been told he has just one year to live. He decides to use this time to search for three very different men he met briefly during the war: a snobbish British pilot, a young corporal accused of murder, and a black G.I. accused of assault. Along the way, Turner learns about forgiveness, tolerance and second chances, and overcomes his fear of death.
