6,000 miles away from the explosion in Iraq that took his leg, Josh Carpenter struggles to reclaim his former life as a college student.

Mary Fischer, a civilian for the first time in years, strikes out on her own to create a new, independent life away from the army, and her controlling mother.

The last time Josh saw Mary, his National Guard unit was leaving Camp Wolf, headed north to the war in Iraq.

The last time Mary saw Josh, he was unconscious, covered in blood, and headed for a hospital in Germany.

On the campus of Indiana University, Josh and Mary's paths move ever closer to a reunion that could help ease the nightmares and heal old wounds... or make them worse.
