The war is over but the battle is about begin.

Ben returns home from a traumatic tour of Afghanistan. His wife Jess and son Max are ecstatic to have him back but Ben is unemotional and detached, unable to reconnect with his life at home. One day Ben returns home to find a man peering into his living room window and flees at the sight of Ben. Are local Taliban sympathisers targeting Ben and his family? Ben becomes paranoid and plagued by increasingly disturbing nightmares. These night terrors evolve into waking dreams that promote bursts of uncontrollable anger.
