Description:

Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith, known as Truesmith, has dedicated years to preparing for a mission that was canceled due to hay fever. Feeling discouraged and fearing judgment from his mother and townspeople, he's reluctant to return home. A chance meeting with fellow Marines offers him friendship and a plan: they'll create a fabricated story of bravery in battle and honorable discharge, transforming his homecoming into a triumphant event. The film examines friendship, loyalty, and finding redemption as Truesmith navigates this network of supportive lies to accept himself. It’s a heartwarming story about community and the lengths people will go to ease each other's insecurities.
