Shane's older brother, Jeremy, is a hometown hero: football star, valedictorian, and decorated Marine. But after returning from three deployments, Jeremy's behavior is erratic and violent. Concerned, Shane accompanies Jeremy on an ill-advised impromptu canoe trip. While their wilderness adventure ends on a melodramatic note, their journey is a raw, tense exploration of brotherhood and the psychological costs of war.
