LOGLINE: Amid the unspeakable horrors of the Vietnam War, one hero's odyssey sparks a revolution of healing for those haunted by invisible scars.

SYNOPSIS: Psych Officer Captain Shad Meshad, the youngest Captain to return from the Vietnam War, is haunted by the horrors he witnessed. He searches for purpose among the burned-out encampments at Venice Beach, where homeless veterans cling to survival. Each has deep wounds and their agony thrusts Shad back in time to remember that harrowing year and confront the devastating reality of PTSD as he searches for a new way to treat the troops.

Reeling from a suicide bombing that nearly claimed his life, Shad arrives at the 95th Evac Hospital in Da Nang Vietnam. Unprepared for the horrors, he is plunged into chaos on his first night. As heroic doctors and nurses triage the waves of broken and bloodied soldiers, Shad, in sweltering heat, must do the unthinkable - sort the living from the dead. With shaking hands, he places dog tags in the mouths of fallen boys and zips their shattered bodies into bags. Each gesture pulls him deeper into the nightmarish reality that will change him forever.

The relentless tide of trauma leaves Shad obsessed to help. He becomes a confidant to soldiers consumed by fear and guilt, including Bobby Timmons, a young farm boy on the brink of mental collapse. Shad fights to save him, but Colonel Bratmann, the hospital’s commander, dismisses the boy’s suffering and forces him back to the frontlines like so many other grunts. Pushed past his breaking point, Timmons kills Bratmann with a grenade, and maims himself in the process. Timmons begs Shad to help him die, but Shad can’t play God. After Shad leaves, Timmons takes his own life, leaving Shad tormented by his inability to save the boy.

Embittered by the absurdity of command and the senseless horrors inflicted upon the soldiers, Shad returns home. When the men are greeted by protests and labeled ‘murderers’ and ‘baby killers’, Shad is outraged by the callous indifference and vows to fight for his fellow veterans. His experience at Venice Beach fueling his resolve, Shad vows to bring hope to those lost in the shadows and shatter the people's ignorance of the unseen wounds of war.
