2001年，美國政府以反恐為名，向阿富汗進軍，掃蕩當地的塔利班政權。2009年，奧巴馬上任後旋即向阿富汗增兵兩萬一千人，片中主人翁內森所屬的海軍陸戰隊便在其中。內森在當地執行搜索、接近並掃蕩敵人的任務，右腿卻不幸被射傷，自此不良於行；返國後雖然有妻子的細心照料，卻仍無法調適，無法回到正常生活的軌道之中。內森確實回到美國北卡羅萊納州的家中了，但他的右腳和心靈中的某部分卻沒有回來。或者，背負著太多心理包袱，活在身心都難以適應的美國，其實是重新回到另一個地獄呢？

 

From his embed with US Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan, photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung DENNIS reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year old Sergeant Nathan HARRIS. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man's personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, this documentary lays bare the true cost of war.
