A gritty drama about two marines processing trauma through physical struggle and brotherhood, balancing the darkness of PTSD and interrogation aftermath with the redemptive possibility of fighting back.

After two marines make it home following an ISIS interrogation, one struggles to survive while the other fights his way back into the mixed martial arts world that he left behind years ago.
