This is a modern love story between an infantry Marine and a medic/grief and trauma counselor. She had plans her entire life to work in a rehabilitation center, but then she was given an assignment in her psychology class that gave her a change of heart. He had wanted all of his high school years to go into the United States Marine Corps. There were times where he wanted to just take everything back and go home. He was terrified that upon coming home, no one would understand anything that he'd witnessed. When a severe injury and a big risk makes their paths cross, he has a paradox of his own.
