After a 15-month combat tour in Iraq, decorated soldier Adam Schumann returns home to Kansas. He is welcomed by his devoted wife, Saskia, and their two young children, marking a significant moment of reunion for the family.

Back home, Adam battles severe PTSD, experiencing nightmares and flashbacks from his time in combat. This mental strain affects his ability to reconnect with his family and cope with everyday life.

Encouraged by Saskia, Adam reaches out for help from the Department of Veterans Affairs. He joins the many veterans seeking assistance, facing the challenges of a system overwhelmed with similar cases.

To cope with his struggles, Adam reconnects with two fellow veterans, Solo Aieti and Billy Waller. Their shared experiences forge a bond, providing mutual support as they navigate their post-war lives.

Billy Waller, overwhelmed by his own demons, tragically takes his life in front of his fiancée. This heartbreaking event deepens the emotional turmoil in Adam and serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by veterans.

Adam grapples with guilt related to his fellow soldier, Michael Emory, whom he saved during combat. Despite this, Michael suffers severe injuries, leaving Adam tormented by the burden of survivor’s guilt.

Adam is haunted by the loss of Sergeant First Class James Doster, who perished after Adam's decision to take a different patrol. The realization that he indirectly contributed to Doster's death intensifies Adam's internal conflict.

As the narrative unfolds, Amanda, Doster's widow and a friend of Saskia, learns the painful truths surrounding her husband's death. This revelation provides her an opportunity for forgiveness, impacting all their lives.

Solo struggles with his own PTSD and memory issues, which hinder his desire to re-enlist. His path leads him to dangerous encounters with drug dealers, jeopardizing his future and mental health.

Adam intervenes in Solo's life, rescuing him from a precarious situation involving drug dealers. He ensures Solo has a chance at rehabilitation by sending him to a specialized center in California.

Adam undergoes a challenging rehabilitation process, aiming to overcome his PTSD. It is a transformative journey filled with ups and downs as he confronts his past and seeks to heal.

After completing his rehabilitation, Adam returns home to the warm embrace of his wife and children. This moment signifies a hopeful step toward healing and reconnection as a family.

As the family adjusts to life with Adam back, they begin to rebuild their relationships and restore their sense of normalcy. The journey is gradual, but full of love and a commitment to face challenges together.

Adam’s experience brings him closer to other veterans and families like Amanda’s. The growing community provides vital support, reinforcing the importance of sharing experiences for healing.
