Jerry is a veteran from the War in Afghanistan. After serving three tours he is finally home with his wife and son. Unfortunately Jerry has some skeletons in his closet that he brought back with him that will not be hidden for long. He can’t sleep. He can’t focus and the two reasons he had for living, his son Jesse and his wife Stacy are the two people that he ends up hurting the most. When the dreams turn into nightmares that won’t go away, when light is always too bright and all sounds are always too loud Jerry starts to lose his mind. He starts to see innocent people as his enemy. Passing cars start to sound like the engines of military tanks. The longer that Jerry is not on the battlefield the more that his mind takes him back there and he can’t fight it anymore. His breaking moment comes on the saddest of days when his head is fighting against him in such a way that he can no longer fight it. The only thing a solider can do is go to war, the war home in his own head. The sound of his sons footsteps become the boots of militant insurgents that want to kill him and in an instant Jerry does what a warrior does best, he kills. In the silence that he has been waiting for he holds his son, the reason that he lives.
