When someone rises from the darkness, that's where beauty is found. Vincent Cooper was the star of his high school football team. Instead of pursuing scholarships, he chooses to follow in his family's footsteps and join the Army. He became a man of war until one roadside bomb changed his life. Now back in his hometown, he begins to spiral into the darkness. When his house burns down, he's left homeless until his friends step in. Being the daughter of the town drunk, Hazel Lee Green never let it dull her light. Instead, she chose to rise above her past and shine. When her battle-worn best friend needs a safe space, she offers her house to keep him from spiraling. She becomes his shield from the town, just as he was hers all throughout their childhood. Together, they work through the darkness. But he's always one drink away from spiraling out of control. She wonders if she can help pull him back, or will she push him too far out of reach? Because she knows, once you succumb to the darkness, it's hard to see the light.
