Merit, a U.S. Army veteran suffering from PTSD, is repeatedly tortured by visions of her deceased friend and company buddy Zoe. After her Afghanistan service in 2016, she attends group therapy until Dale, her grandfather and former Lieutenant Colonel, is recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Merit steps up to his aide, and discovers more about herself and her family, while also gaining the courage to put her metaphorical demons to rest.

i really cared about these characters and even though you knew what was coming the whole movie it still hurts more than you’d think. the message is so so important, keeping your feelings bottled up is never the answer, its okay to let people be there for you. with all that being said before the movie there was a trailer for a zionist documentary that was such bullshit and i know that’s the distributor’s fault and not the movies but i can’t shake it.

It stuck the landing but man, that last act sprinted to the finish line. A still atmosphere with rich directions to explore; I can’t help but think this would’ve been better as a limited series. The uncertainty of dead Zoe’s intentions was a cool touch though.

I haven’t bawled throughout a movie like this since I watched Sing Sing back in January…
