Follows Diondre Howell, a late-20s Iraq War veteran whose undiagnosed PTSD makes everyday civilian life feel like another battlefield. Clinging to rigid routines and haunted by hypervigilance, Diondre becomes increasingly alienated from his family, including his mother Zoe, and finds fleeting solace in a relationship with Fatimah Danel, an Ethiopian immigrant rebuilding her own life after abuse. Denied VA treatment due to his military discharge, Diondre’s spiral intensifies, culminating in a tragic, gut-wrenching finale rooted in real-life events, including the 2009 Fort Hood shooting.
