Army Green Beret Danny Patton wages war on two fronts. In tribal Afghanistan, he executes missions that demand everything from a modern warrior. Back home, different battles tear through his living room, shredding his family and his sense of who he is. War's machinery grinds against his integrity and his soul, leaving him broken in ways bullets never could. Danny faces his final mission, one that will define him forever. Death calls from the other side, promising Valhalla's halls. But combat offers two paths forward. He can choose vengeance, letting rage fuel his fight. Or he can choose love, despite the cost it demands. Each path extracts its price. Danny must decide which sacrifice he can live with, and which one might save what remains of the man he used to be.
