A profound existential theme pervades the entire movie, as returning Afghanistan war veteran Jason Malek (Seth Packard) agonizes over the death of his friend and comrade on the battlefield. Traumatized by the fact that he survived the war and his buddy didn't, Jason also assumes guilt for not praying for his friend when he was asked to, having given up on his faith some years earlier when his own father perished in a warehouse explosion. Searching for answers that can never be found, Jason befriends a young boy who moves into his neighborhood with a father who grew up with Jason's dad. Ironically, both of his parents died in the same catastrophe that killed Jason's father. As this Christian themed story progresses, one can foresee the inevitable outcome as young Lou Coldwell's (Dayne Rockwood) father is revealed to have an inoperable brain tumor, while his estranged mother deals with addiction and poverty. It doesn't take a huge leap of faith to realize that Jason and his Mom will provide refuge for the parent-less boy when the time comes. As one door closes, another one opens for Lou, and at least one answer is provided to Jason for having survived a conflict that spared his life by inches.
