Synopsis: | Two 20-plus-year veterans return home after their convoy is hit by an IED in Iraq. Torn between family and the call of duty, their wars continue at home, opening old wounds of betrayal, fear, infidelity, and loneliness for them and their wives. In this touching, poetic, brutal, and romantic commentary on current events, the veterans and their fractured families are forced into a surprising and bitter realism. And, only one thing is certain-the high cost paid by all. | |||||
