It's been over two years since Army veteran Derek Mitchell lost his best friend on the field of combat in Afghanistan. As a civilian, he turns to the bottle and one-night stands, two vices that become less and less reliable with each passing day.

As the nightmares worsen and the drinking consumes him, Derek retreats from his friends and family, hellbent on surrendering to a battle no one else can see.

Just as he receives an ultimatum that puts his job on the line, a stranger arrives to renovate the large, abandoned Victorian outside his carriage house apartment.

With new motivation to seek help, he discovers an unlikely friendship. Will it be enough to piece his new life back together before he hits rock bottom?
