During her recovery, which is slow and painful, she has to relearn how to walk and retrain her memory with the help of a chatty but gentle caretaker (Jane Houdishell). However, when he returns home to New Orleans, he is faced with an even more disturbing and complex memory than those he experienced during his service: a collision with his childhood.

Left with her mother (Linda Emond), with whom she has a strained relationship, Lynsey would just like to return to her job as an engineer, but her doctor (Stephen McKinley Henderson) is cautious and takes a job in the meantime. as a pool cleaner. When her pickup truck breaks down, she meets James Aucoin (Brian Tyree Henry), who works in a garage, and offers to give her a ride home; gradually the two come to rely on each other for company and comfort, and Lynsey discovers that James is also repressing the traumas of his past.
