This regional premiere follows Sgt. Mark Mercer as he tries to readjust to life after war. The story jumps between the soldier in Afghanistan and at home with his wife and his young daughter after completing his deployment. As Mark tries to resolve his experiences after a year of combat, his wife seeks to reconnect to the man she loves. It is a deeply personal story about the realities of war, both for soldiers and their families - the camaraderie, the boredom, the fear, the love, the sorrow, the pride.
