Description:
Frank Enley returns to his California hometown a hero after being released from prisoner of war status. While celebrated by the community, Frank carries a secret from his time in captivity that threatens to unravel his peace. This hidden past resurfaces when fellow prisoner Joe Parkson reappears, determined to hold Frank accountable for his actions. The confrontation forces Frank to confront difficult questions about heroism, redemption, and loyalty, all while the community watches, questioning whether they truly know the man they've hailed as a hero.
