A sobering portrait of young soldiers grappling with trauma and alienation after returning from Iraq, where the real battle is reintegration into a society that doesn't understand them.

Four high school football stars enlist in the Marines and head off to fight in the war in Iraq. When one of them is killed and another wounded, they return home only to find is extremely difficult to pick up the threads of their old lives. The memories of events in Iraq combined with the lack of public support pushes many of these men to the breaking point.
