The battle doesn’t stop when you get home.

Joe Caruso’s a 21 year old that virtually has it all: brains, brawn, a loving family, a beautiful girlfriend, and he’s a hockey star. It is his family pride and fearless determination that drives him to join the Marines and take part in today’s War on Terror. Upon his return home, now former Marine Sergeant Caruso attempts to seamlessly fall back into his normal life with the help of his family and friends all while coping with his life changing overseas battle. Their support is not enough, and Joe continues on his downward spiral. In an attempt to regain control of his life and return to his old self Joe enlists the help of new friends and the aid of a therapist.

“What a powerful film about a topic that is rarely talked about. The writers did an amazing job with showing the stages of PTSD, and the actors brought so much emotion and heart to the film. Entertaining and educational.” – Poppy Seed

“Well-acted, realistic portrayal of what happens to a Vet that waits for PTSD treatment. Modern days ‘Deer Hunter’ look at the ripple effects of war for the young people of today.” – Metacritic

“Smartly written, and well-acted. Brings to life the struggles many have gone through upon returning from combat.” – TVAZ
