A powerful and tender story of a soldier returning home, carrying wounds that no one can see. When he tries to rebuild a bond with his daughter, he must answer the question neither of them know how to ask.
"you're only in competition with the best version of yourself that you can be"
When her father is tragically killed in Afghanistan, 17-year-old Christine finds herself deserted by her own family. Devastated by grief and unable to form a real connection with her mother, she decides to take the only path she knows: the one her father forged in the army.
Christine's mother does not support her decision to become an army medic, but that is hardly the only problem Christine is facing. Shy and reserved by nature, she has a difficult time bonding with her comrades, including the only other female soldier in her squadron.
As Christine struggles with social anxiety and her faith in God, she embarks on a mission to uncover the circumstances of her father's heroic death.
