Ray Shipworth's life plan was clear: marry his girlfriend after serving his country. From boot camp to the unforgiving front line, Ray faces challenges that shatter his worldview and threaten his identity. In this high-stakes arena, he's tested in unexpected ways. Leo Lightfoot, daughter of Ray's cross-country coach, is an outsider yearning for more.

With shared beginnings and divergent paths, two wounded souls return to their childhood home in rural Oklahoma. The trauma of recent experiences threatens to derail them. Can their reunion allow them to heal? Or will their attempts to help each other leave them more broken than before?
