Decorated U.S. Army combat veteran Calvin Cole (Grayhm) is court ordered into treatment and into the care of a VA trauma therapist in-training (Madsen), who still works the night shift at a diner to pay for college. Things become even more complicated when Calvin’s father-in-law and retired Vietnam veteran (Curtis Hall) shows up on his doorstep, having just been released from prison. When Calvin’s plan to run from the past blows up in his face, he learns through tough love and compassion that he must put himself back together again.
