When Jolene deploys as a soldier, Michael is left at home managing their two daughters and the crumbling foundation of their marriage—a situation neither of them imagined could be more complicated than their already-strained relationship. As Jolene navigates the harsh realities of combat, she sends carefully edited letters home, determined to shield her family from the truth, while Michael struggles with the weight of single parenthood and his own demons. When tragedy strikes on the front lines, both of them are forced to confront what they've lost and what they're willing to fight for in their relationship and their family. It's a raw, tender exploration of how love and duty can pull people in different directions, and what it takes to find your way back home.
Reading soundtrack
Longing indie ballads meet tender folk—think Bon Iver, The National, and Phoebe Bridgers. Layer in moments of raw vulnerability and bittersweet redemption. Atmospheric, aching, with threads of quiet intimacy and resilience woven throughout.
