Travis returns from Afghanistan a damaged soldier to find that his parents are splitting up and his girlfriend has dumped him for his brother. A tentative relationship with a girl who's hated him since middle school may just ensure some kind of new normal for him. Travis is a likable guide to his personal hell, and the characters around him are well drawn and believable.
