Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant who has returned home from Iraq, is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Montgomery is partnered with Captain Tony Stone, to give notice to the families of fallen soldiers. The Sergeant is drawn to Olivia Pitterson, to whom he has delivered news of her husband’s death.
The heavy burden of delivering death notices to grieving families haunts every quiet room this unit enters. Amidst the crushing weight of military loss, a fragile connection forms between a soldier and a woman whose life was shattered by the same war.
