US Army Sergeant Jason Pate returns home after three tours of duty in Afghanistan. The battles he has endured have led to minor injuries to his body, but the toll taken on his mind are immeasurable. As he attempts to adjust to life at home with his wife Emily and their four year old daughter Savannah, he struggles with the things he has missed, the effects of the war, and the ability to find meaning and purpose of his life in the civilian world.Jason begins to turn to alcohol and pills to ease his pain.

Beyond the expected explosions of a combat film, this drama focuses on the quiet, fractured reality of a soldier trying to reintegrate into a family that no longer recognizes him. It trades battlefield adrenaline for the heavy, suffocating tension of a man battling invisible wounds in his own living room.
