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.
