In a small town in the U.S. after the Vietnam War, a war veteran named Stephen faces the aftermath of his past while trying to rebuild his life and that of his family. When his wife is in a critical emotional state, Stephen struggles to keep his family afloat while confronting his own internal demons. Life is hard, but he clings to hope and love for his children, who are growing up in an environment filled with tension and problems.
The situation complicates when a group of youths from the neighboring neighborhood starts to bully his children, triggering in Stephen the need to fight to protect what is most important to him. However, instead of resorting to violence, he tries to find a way to resolve the conflict through communication and understanding.

Through a poignant narrative, the protagonist discovers that the real battle is not just external but also within the heart and mind, always seeking a path toward peace and reconciliation amidst the chaos.
