Plot

Lewis, scarred with mental and physical wounds from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, begins to find humanity, compassion and friendship among a group of similarly injured soldiers in the psychiatric ward at a remote veterans hospital. The men – survivors of World War II, Vietnam, and recent conflicts in the Middle East--become Lewis's new family. With them, he will attempt to redefine his sense of self, and find a new place in the world.

But just as their luck starts to change, Lewis faces his fiercest battle yet.
