When a routine investigation turns violent, a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs is left seriously injured in the field. Ignoring medical orders, he forces himself back to work, determined to prove he's still fit for duty. But when a second pursuit nearly costs him his life, Gibbs's team-Domingues, Randolf, and his mentor Mike Franks-must pull him back from the edge.
As Gibbs recovers, he's forced to confront the truth that being strong doesn't always mean pushing through the pain. For the first time, he begins to understand the balance between pride, leadership, and survival-a lesson that will shape the kind of agent, and man, he becomes.
