About the Show

Two men come together to deal with their survivors' guilt.

A gay man hailed as a hero for rescuing children during a mass shooting, grapples with survivor's remorse and struggles to manage his anger. A behavior therapist convinces her husband, a Marine sergeant who suffered losses in Afghanistan and bears the scars of being revered as a hero himself, to engage in a conversation with him. Instead of providing mutual support, both men attempt to provoke each other into contemplating suicide. The loved ones of these individuals — one's husband and mother, the other's wife — do everything in their power to rescue them both. Through their ordeals, each man gains insight into the true essence of honor and the importance of showing reverence for others.

Critic Reviews (1)

“ ‘Honor’ addresses several pertinent issues, including the effects of PTSD, the benefits of behavioral psychology, expressions of manhood, and personal accountability. Regrettably, these are subsumed in alternating heavy-handed and baffling set ups.”
