Directed by Josh Caldwell, the film follows John Colter (Walls), a wounded veteran, on his return to the U.S. while still carrying the demons of war and haunted by the everyday expectations of his friendships and love interests. He is sent to a V.A. facility in Montana for treatment, where he meets Ike Fletcher (Cox) a surly Vietnam vet who teaches him how to fly fish as a way of dealing with his emotional and physical trauma.
