More DescriptionWhen Conrad joined the Marines after college, he expected to further a long tradition of honor, courage, and commitment. Now he has just returned home after four years in Iraq, and something is very wrong. Everything should be fine—he hasn't been wounded, and he's never had psychological troubles.

As the weeks turn into months, Conrad's bitterness festers, and he begins to fear that his rage will have irreparable consequences.
